Avail
Better Clarity was created by Avail, a nonprofit that has supported women and men navigating unexpected pregnancy and past abortion experiences since 1996. Avail’s model of care begins with listening. Rather than assuming what someone needs, Care Experts create space for each person’s questions, experiences, and next steps, offering compassionate, nonjudgmental support at their own pace.
If you would like to talk with someone, Avail offers free, confidential support through scheduled text conversations and secure video appointments. You can ask questions, share what is on your mind, or simply take time to sort through what you are experiencing with someone who will listen without judgment or pressure.
You don’t have to know what to say or what you might need before you reach out.

Avail does not provide medical care. We offer private, judgment-free support.
