Mission Statement

About This Cause
Options for Women is a privately funded, non-profit organization dedicated to women who experience unexpected or planned pregnancy but who have no health insurance and who are often at risk in extremely difficult situations. All services are free. Options offers a confidential refuge of support to women as they make important health decisions that will impact their pregnancy and beyond. For women who are conflicted about their pregnancy, we provide opportunities for them to explore their options with medical information and compassionate counseling. Our goal is to promote healthy pregnancy outcomes for women, men and their babies with a three-tiered path of support: early prenatal intervention, counseling and education. Medical guidance is administered by a Registered Nurse and overseen by a doctor. First trimester ultrasound to determine viability is provided, as well as prenatal vitamins, nutritional guidelines, smoking cessation referrals, and linkage to drug and alcohol treatment programs. Options partners with local prenatal health providers such as Virtua Women’s Center in facilitating appropriate care. Options is a post-partum mood screening site. Clients receive one-to-one counseling support throughout the pregnancy. Options provides a welcoming, non-judgmental sanctuary for women to convey their feelings and share their needs. Private counseling reveals how we can best advocate for our clients and link them to further support services, including mental health, housing, adoption and/or interim care, grief counseling (if suffering from fetal demise or miscarriage), post-abortion counseling, mentoring, and help with material needs. Options is committed to both men and women in promoting positive, involved parenting. This is accomplished through fatherhood mentoring and a young moms group. All are open to the community upon registration. Additionally we offer material support such as free, new maternity clothes during pregnancy and layette items such as infant clothes, diapers, formula etc. after the client delivers. Our third tier of support is education. Options holds classes for women, men and families. Classes include labor and delivery and childbirth education, baby basics (bonding and infant care), breastfeeding, and parenting workshops. Classes are free and open to the community. Options’ multi-dimensional outreach has been operational for over 35 years and is looking for corporate sponsors. Please help us to continue impacting at-risk pregnant women and their families with our life-changing support services.
