For Partners & Boyfriends

This affects both of you. How you respond right now matters more than you know. Here's how to be the support she needs.

✓ Do's

  • Listen without trying to immediately 'fix' everything
  • Ask "How can I support you?" and follow through
  • Offer to come to appointments with her
  • Educate yourself about the options together
  • Be patient—she may need time to process
  • Reassure her that you're in this together

✗ Don'ts

  • Don't pressure her toward any decision
  • Don't make it about you or your feelings only
  • Don't disappear or go silent
  • Don't share her news without permission

Resources for Men

We offer confidential consultations for partners too. Get your questions answered.

No! You don't need health insurance, ID, or anything else. We serve everyone regardless of age, income, or immigration status. Just come as you are.
