How To Help Someone in Crisis Pregnancy
- Be a friend. Be concerned. LISTEN. Ask if any plans have been made. Ask about your friend's support network: family, friends, baby's father. Is anyone pressuring her to have an abortion?
- Visual aids save lives. Ask if she is willing to watch an educational video. Go with her to show a video to her family and friends. Never assume mother and baby are safe.
- Help her schedule an appointment with a crisis pregnancy center. Check the Yellow Pages under "Abortion Alternatives," or call 1-800-848-5683 for the nearest center. Phone ahead. Go with her.
- Offer to stay with her during the crisis counseling appointment. Maintain regular contact and support throughout and beyond her pregnancy.
- Offer to take her to church with you or include her in a Bible study. Regularly pray for her. Be attentive to her spiritual and physical needs.
