Helping A Friend [OLD]

“Friends affirm life.”

Loving and caring for our friends is such an important part of life. When a friend is going through hard times, it is essential to encourage her/him and provide her with accurate information. If you are concerned about a friend or loved one who is dealing with a difficult situation, HELP Pregnancy Center is a wonderful resource for information, education, assistance, and support.

How can you help your friend who may be pregnant?
