At Pro-Choice YQL, our mission is to provide comprehensive support for individuals seeking abortion care. We acknowledge the complexity and emotional significance of the decision to have an abortion. That's why we offer pre-abortion support, information, education and resources.

Pre-abortion support plays a vital role in the process. Prior to the abortion, you will have your appointment with a healthcare provider who will discuss the procedure, present your options, and address any potential risks or complications. They will also assess your medical history and perform any necessary tests to ensure that you are a suitable candidate for the procedure.

Besides offering medical information, our pre-abortion support services provide emotional support. We understand that deciding to have an abortion can be challenging, so we provide a safe space where you can openly discuss your feelings and concerns.

Following the procedure, we can refer you to post-abortion, pregnancy loss and trauma mental health support. Abortion therapy can be immensely helpful for individuals who experience emotions such as grief, guilt, or anxiety after their abortion.

We recognize the obstacles involved in accessing abortion care and strive to simplify the process as much as possible. We firmly believe in empowering individuals to make informed decisions about their reproductive health and ensuring they receive the support they require to feel confident in their choices.

We are here to provide unwavering support throughout every step of your journey.

Preparing your body for an abortion procedure is a crucial step in ensuring its safety and success. Before the procedure, discussing any health conditions or medications you're taking with your healthcare provider is essential, as they may impact the procedure.

Maintaining a healthy diet, staying hydrated, and refraining from alcohol and smoking, if possible, are important aspects of preparing your body for the procedure. These measures can help minimize the risk of complications during the procedure and promote faster healing afterward.

Your healthcare provider may also recommend specific medications or supplements, like folic acid or iron, to help prepare your body for the procedure. They might also advise abstaining from sexual activity if possible for a certain period before the procedure to reduce the risk of infection.

Following all pre-procedure instructions provided by your healthcare provider, including fasting or medication requirements, is crucial. They will also inform you about what to expect during the procedure and provide aftercare instructions.

It's important to remember that everyone's body is unique, and individual considerations may need to be considered before the procedure. That's why having a supportive and knowledgeable healthcare provider who can address your questions and provide personalized care is invaluable.

Abortion can be emotionally challenging. But you are not alone (in fact, 1 in 4 people with a uterus will have an abortion in their lifetime). Resources are available to provide the support you need throughout the process.

At Pro-Choice YQL, we deeply understand the significance of emotional support for individuals seeking abortion care. Our dedicated team of trained staff and volunteers is here to offer non-judgmental and compassionate support, along with a wealth of resources to assist you in navigating the decision and its aftermath.

If you request post-abortion counselling, we collaborate with a specialized abortion counselling service. We can refer you to mental health resources to help you work through your emotions, address any concerns or fears you may have, and provide valuable guidance on coping strategies to support your healing process.

We can provide you with information and referrals to other resources for your emotional well-being. This includes support groups, counselling services, and self-care practices that may benefit your overall emotional health.

Taking care of your emotional well-being during this time is of utmost importance, and we are committed to supporting you every step of the way. We aim to ensure that you feel heard, supported, and empowered in your decision to access abortion care.

Always remember that you have the right to make decisions about your body and reproductive health. You deserve compassionate and supportive care, and we are here to provide precisely that for you.
