For Friends

It’s nerve-racking to figure out the right thing to do or to say when your friend is facing an unplanned pregnancy. But the most meaningful way you can support her is simply to be there.

• Listen.
• Keep calm.
• Suggest help.

Let your friend speak when she wants, and calmly listen. She will be grateful for an open ear as she processes her emotions and the difficult choices ahead of her.You, however, might rapidly feel overwhelmed if you’re her only resource. Remember that Hope Resource Center is here to help.
