Viable Options works to restore autonomy and decisional ownership to those facing a pregnancy decision by alleviating the external pressures which so often cause them to feel that they have no control over the outcome.
But it doesn’t end there. It is communities that change communities, and hope for those facing a pregnancy decision lies your willingness to play an active role in becoming the answer to their needs.
Spread Awareness
Utilize your unique relationships within your workplace, your house of worship, your community, or your family to share with others about the work of Viable Options and to help connect us with those who most need our support.

Whether that is helping someone to make an appointment or coming with them to Viable Options, our involvement must reach further than the voting booth and must be lived outside of pews and political conventions. Hope is afforded to those facing a pregnancy decision when each person takes part in creating and sustaining communities in which their needs are fully met.
