Update 3/26/21: We are operating with regular hours and services (including pregnancy testing and ultrasound confirmation of pregnancy, options education, parenting readiness appointments, relationship counsel, STD testing, post-abortion healing support, and group parenting programs). We continue to make minor modifications for social distancing and sanitizing.
To limit the number of guests in waiting rooms and in the centers at any one time, please call ahead (973-238-9045) to find out who can accompany you to your appointment. In most cases, your partner can come with you, but we recommend making an appointment for both of you. When we reach capacity at a center, guests may be asked to wait in their car or outside the center. In some cases, parenting appointments may be done virtually. Please remain at home and reschedule your appointment if you are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms or have been exposed to the virus recently. Thank you for understanding. We look forward to serving you!

Update 12/10/20: All centers are currently open for regular hours, with modifications for social distancing and sanitizing (see updates below for more details). Most services – including ultrasound confirmation of pregnancy and STD testing – are available onsite. We are still limiting guests and number of visitors in the center – those coming for services are asked to come alone or to also schedule an appointment for their partner, if he is also interested in support. During December and January, we may be limiting in-person parenting appointments to once a month, with additional support available virtually; please speak to your peer counselor about how we can best accommodate you. As numbers of COVID-19 infections peak during this holiday season, we are doing all we can to ensure your safety and the safety of our staff.
