What Can Friends Do?

Is your friend facing an unplanned pregnancy?
Learn how you can be supportive.


It’s nerve-racking to figure out the right thing to do or say when your friend is facing an unplanned pregnancy. But the most meaningful way you can support her is simply to be there and offer her accurate information on her pregnancy options. The best thing you can do right now is to:

 

  • Suggest help
  • Keep calm
  • Listen

 

Let your friend speak when she wants and calmly listen. She will be grateful for an open ear as she processes her emotions and the difficult choices ahead of her.

You, however, might rapidly feel overwhelmed if you are her only resource. Remember that ACPC Women’s Clinic is available. We offer free, caring and confidential help and can quickly connect your friend to the local assistance she needs.
