Pregnancy Tests
Taking a pregnancy test can feel overwhelming, especially when the pregnancy is unexpected. You might have concerns about privacy or what the next steps should be if you are pregnant. We provide a free, self-administered, urine-based pregnancy test in a confidential supportive environment. You don’t have to face this situation alone. Contact us for an appointment.

A Safe Place to Explore Options
If you are facing an unexpected or challenging pregnancy situation, you might be aware of your options (abortion, adoption, and parenting), but you might not be able to picture how each option may look in your own life. Sometimes it helps to talk.
At Envisage we listen. We provide you with a safe, supportive, and confidential place to talk about your unique situation and feelings. We provide compassionate care, and accurate information to empower you as you explore all of your pregnancy options.
We recognize there may be people in your life who important to you in your decision-making process. If you would find it helpful, they are welcome to join you in your appointments at Envisage.

Ongoing Support
Taking a pregnancy test is just the beginning of a journey. At Envisage, we provide ongoing support as you take the time to consider your options and throughout your journey, with any option you choose.
If you choose to parent, our Preparing for Baby Program will provide ongoing peer support, classes to prepare for birth and practical help with things like diapers and gently used clothing. If you explore adoption, we provide peer support and classes to prepare for birth, the adoption process and to process the feelings you may face after placing your baby for adoption. We also provide peer-based support after abortion if you would find it helpful to process your emotions. You are not alone.

Parenting Program & Postpartum Support
We provide postpartum support and a parenting group which covers topics such as attachment and child development.

This program includes peer-based support, access to our clothing and practical items and a 12-week group program (Strengthening Families Program) which runs twice per year, in the spring and fall.
