Abortion Support Services Atlantic

Abortion Support Services Atlantic A 100% volunteer run, pro-reproductive rights group, providing non-medical support for anyone seeking abortion care in the Atlantic provinces.

We do not provide medical advice or perform clinical duties. ASSA is here to provide support services for anyone having an abortion in the Atlantic Provinces. We can help you navigate the medical system, connect you with a support person who will accompany you to your appointment(s), help you find a place to spend the night if you need to travel or help you to connect to any other services you need. ASSA is here to support you and your decisions. ASSA volunteers do not offer therapeutic counselling services or medical advice. The general process looks like this: For the quickest response, message this page with an outline of the support you need. You can also reach on our website and Twitter, or email
Atlanticabortion.volunteer@gmail.com

We will cross check your needs with our volunteer list and match you with the best person. We will ask you for your explicit permission before any contact information is exchanged. If you would like to be on the volunteer list just let us know what you'd like to offer and how people can contact you (email, phone or both). Our Volunteer Coordinator can be reached at atlanticabortion.volunteer@gmail.com

ASSA also offers trauma-informed abortion doula training multiple times per year. Shannon organizes trainings in Halifax but can also come to you. If you are interested in bring the training to your area, please contact assa.coordinator@gmail.com

Our team at ASSA is comprised of folks who do full-spectrum reproductive support/doulas, social workers, counsellors, and other helping professionals. Any e-mails or messages sent to this page are received by Shannon Hardy.

Hello to all of our valuable volunteers! Just a reminder that when the ROSE clinic (reproductive options clinic in halifax) calls to confirm you are driving/picking up a patient, you have to confirm you are the driver or they may cancel/reschedule the patient. Be aware they may call the day before and will definitely call the morning of the procedure. The clinic's number may show up as unknown caller. We appreciate you all so much, thank you for everything you do :)
