About us and our services.

The Back Porch.

The Back Porch is a pregnancy resource centre that offers information to women and men considering all of their pregnancy options. We encounter people from all over Central and Northern Alberta with different backgrounds and situations.

Our centre is a welcoming, non-judgmental environment. We provide information about abortion, adoption, parenting, and offer referrals that are appropriate for your situation. We are not a medical facility and do not refer for abortion procedures. We have a expansive network of support from fellow organizations that offer pre- and post-abortion counseling and birthing assistance.

If you are experiencing an unanticipated pregnancy, please phone or drop by the office. Our staff and volunteers would be happy to speak to you about your options. Contact us.

Our services.

Facing an unanticipated pregnancy is difficult - whatever decision you make is life-changing. We want to ensure you are thoroughly informed about all of your options.

Many people involved with The Back Porch have personal experience with abortion, adoption, or single parenting. They would be pleased to discuss their experiences to provide you with someone who can relate directly to your situation.
