Pregnancy

It is very important for a young woman to have someone to trust and offer support when she is facing the possibility of being pregnant. This may be a parent, a counselor, an adult friend or a peer. If a young woman thinks that she is pregnant, it is important to have a pregnancy test in a medical setting. The young woman may need to speak with someone who can support her to receive the medical attention she needs.

For pregnancy testing and counseling, contact your health care provider or call one of the following clinics. Call for hours, cost (if any), and to find out if an appointment is necessary.
