Sometimes, people we know, whether friends, siblings, team members, or colleagues, may tell us that they are unexpectedly pregnant. You don’t need to be an expert or provide perfect answers. Just “being there” without judgment is already valuable.
How to help them
- Listen to them completely before trying to conclude The first thing they need is a “listener,” not a “judge.”
- Ask them what kind of help they need Some just want to talk, some want information, and some want to be taken to a counselor.
- Support them without pressure Don’t say “you must keep it” or “you must terminate it” because what they need is “the right to make their own decision.”
- Suggest safe options for them to choose from such as RSA Online, which is anonymous, free of charge, and provides complete information without coercion.
If you don’t know what to say, you can use these phrases
- “I’m here if you want to share more.”
- “You can try this option; they provide clear information without pressure.”
- “If you need any help from me, just let me know anytime.”
