Pregnancy changes your life and raises many questions. Perhaps you would like information, advice and support. We provide counseling free of charge and, if you wish, anonymously in a neutral, confidential atmosphere and are bound by professional secrecy.
We offer you personal conversations with professionally qualified and experienced counselors who have knowledge of social assistance and competence in psychosocial counseling. Furthermore, we cooperate with doctors, clinics, midwives and other counseling centers.

- Information about legal regulations and financial aids around pregnancy and birth (e.g. maternity protection, maternity benefit, parental leave, parental allowance etc.)
- Advice and application for financial assistance through the

Are you unplanned or unintentionally pregnant? You could become an unplanned or unwanted father? You ask yourself: A child now? Another child? Do I want it? Can I do it - even alone? Or what does that mean for your partnership? Education, career and child - how do they go together? With us, you can openly discuss your questions, feelings, fears and doubts.
We are bound by confidentiality and are here for you. We provide counseling in accordance with the Pregnancy Conflict Act, §§218a, 219 StGB, if an abortion is being considered in the case of an unwanted pregnancy.
