Crisis Pregnancy Centre

I am so grateful for the wonderful women that work at this centre and the guidance and support they provided me during a difficult and stressful pregnancy. I found myself in an unexpected crisis situation last year and was also new to Vancouver. I contacted various pregnancy resources and the CPC were the only ones to respond in a timely and friendly manner and with no judgement towards my unusual situation. I would not have been able to get through my predicament with such strength and positivity without Lydia, Celeste and Gianna - they are some of the most kind hearted souls, and my newborn and I are so grateful to have met them, and be part of the community of moms and babies that this centre helps nurtures.

The women working there were nice but...I went there in mid-late 2020 (I think), I thought I could be pregnant and I went there to get a pregnancy test, and lived nearby. I had 2 women in the room with me as one woman was being trained. I was given a form to fill out where I was asked to provide my religion?? I thought that was weird but I was already there. I thought it would be a quick stop, but the appointment probably took 45 minutes all in all, with the actual pregnancy test portion taking less than 5 minutes. I was asked a series of questions about my religion (again), career, family, my relationships, etc., And I understand that their centre is there for support, but I thought it was weird that I was being grilled before even knowing if I was pregnant. The girl asked me what I would do if the test came back positive, and I responded honestly that I would get an abortion, and that opened up another series of questions about why I would do that, and if my family supported me, etc. Luckily the test was negative, but they still gave me a bunch of brochures really going hard on the psychological negatives of abortion and resources etc. For services I for sure did not need.While I do believe places like this could be helpful, and I'm happy to see so many people on their pregnancy journeys getting help, I couldn't have booked it out of there sooner. I felt extremely uncomfortable about the line of questioning, and I felt like the interrogation should have started after I knew if I was pregnant or not. I just got this feeling of uneasiness. Maybe it was the person in the room with me, I'm not sure what. Once she actually started the pregnancy test, I was filled with sudden anxiety - not about the possibility of being pregnant, but about how the women would react if I was, considering I'd just said that I would get an abortion. I moved on pretty quickly, but passed by there again yesterday and felt compelled to write something.If someone from the business replies to this, obviously this isn't my real name and I won't post my real name for privacy reasons, but I really did go there and pee in a cup in your bathroom. Your staff clearly have good bedside manners and are kind, but I think it would be worth re-evaluating the appointment process and line of questioning. I'm sure there are a lot more timid women than me who would feel more anxious about it all... And please stop asking about religion. If there really is no anti-abortion or religious angle to your services, I would really refrain from bringing that up. If you have changed your process since then, I'm happy to hear it.

At a time when our family was going through a crisis that threatened to break it up, this organization provided options and support that saved the life of a child and preserved the life of a young mother. If you find yourself pregnant and in need of help, you will find it here.

This fake clinic does NOT provide comprehensive reproductive health care—or much of any health care" at all! Instead

After having multiple phone calls with a couple different people at this center I left feeling unheard for the unique health struggle I am facing. The name Crisis pregnancy center is misleading as I am in crisis and need support from folks who will not coerce me to make an unsafe decision. My experience sharing my storey with folks at the Crisis pregnancy center left me feeling depressed, unheard and alone. I do not recommend this to anyone who is seeking support to make a life changing decision. There are other options and I offer anyone who wants non judgemental pro choice support to reach out to me. I will share the other supports I have found that have been helpful. Supports that do not use their own personal values to guide the direction of the conversation.

*Absolutely Avoid!* This is a Pro-Life Clinic disguising itself as a clinic that “profoundly cares for women in crisis”. I went here to ask for a simple pregnancy test and it took more than an hour including a “30 minute pre-test” consultation specifically highlighting the negative effects I would have to endure from the various types of abortion methods available. Following this they made me sit in a room with a nurse with a 10 minute timer to wait for my test results to show while she asked me about what I would do of it came back positive. (we all know those tests are incredibly quick. There’s a reason she wouldn’t let me look at the test when K asked 2 minutes in). This was meant to be a scare tactic. -Absolutely traumatizing - Disgusting with the “volunteers” that were running it.

I came to the centre in search of options counseling, and I found so much more; I found genuine care, compassion, and perhaps most valuable: community.As for the religious slant, I did not experience even an ounce of this during my initial visit; the counsel I received was completely unbiased and in support of what was best for me. In fact, I didn't even realize that Crisis Pregnancy Centre was affiliated with the church until much later, and honestly, makes no difference to me (perhaps it would be useful to note that I identify as Agnostic?)The women I have been connected to through at the centre are some of the warmest and most genuine people I have met in a long time, and I am grateful for the part they have played in my life since I first stepped through their door.Thank you for all that you do!

A safe place to come as you are and receive neutral, non-judgmental, confidential, cost-free, emotional / practical support, and care. Great staff... honestly great people. Super approachable and genuine. Not a medical facility and doesn't pretend to be one. This center exists to be a safe place for anyone facing any circumstances including crisis situations and unexpected pregnancies (no matter what you choose). They're there to listen and support you. They can also help you find other help and services in the community through like support groups, classes, hospital programs, housing, and material support. This place is truly a gem in our community!

This was the first place we approached on pursuing, learning and confirming our pregnancy. Lydia was absolutely fantastic in providing us all the resources we needed to embark on a great unprecedented journey. Kudos to all the team who have directly/indirectly helped and supported us.Definitely recommend this place for a great Start on pregnancy. All the best !

My friend committed s. post abortion. She was 23, beautiful, always dreamed of being a mom but pro abortion voices friends were Louder, convinced her she did not have too, because she was confused… So as you can see they are here attacking this place that offer ANOTHER side for women and that is so evil! (even MEN are attacking this place, but hey how convenient for them, right?) they aren’t for women rights because they want women only to have their option). Not all women wants to k—l their child, so places like this are important! It’s women rights have the pro life option too! Not all that are confuse are lost. Please help them to keep doing their work! They don’t only save children lives, but women lives too. Now my story: they helped me when I was going from 1 to 2, and I wasn’t sure if I could handle 2 kids so young. They reached me out even on Christmas week to deliver a gift for me and my kids. Amazing place if you’re confused about which way you will go! There’s hope!
