Abortion Doula Support

Our doula support is adapted to meet the individual needs of each client. It is available before, during, or after an abortion, and can be provided virtually or in person. We support people of all ages who are having abortions of any kind and for any reason.

Many of our doulas also provide pregnancy loss support and can support you if you are accessing procedures or medication for a loss.

Our abortion doulas can help you with:

• Unbiased emotional support 

• Exploring your abortion options

• Navigating access to medical care

• Evidence-based information and resources

• Creating a plan for your abortion that honours your values and needs
  Accompaniment to and from appointments

• In-person support on the day of your abortion (when possible)

• Comfort tools & strategies

• Resources & referrals

Our abortion doulas cannot:

• Provide abortions - we’re not medical professionals!

• Provide childcare during your abortion

• Pay for anything - some of our resources can though

• Drive you or anyone else somewhere - we can take public transit or a cab with you

• Make decisions for you
