Member Agreements
Our member agreements are at the heart of our application process.
All providers listed in our provider directory are required to attest to the following:
-
I affirm and support a person’s right to choose abortion, parenthood, and/or adoption.
-
I will provide my clients with medically and politically accurate information about abortion in the state where they reside, if asked/appropriate (note: providing information is not the same as providing advice).
-
I will take all action within my ethical and legal rights to protect the privacy and confidentiality of a client’s decision to terminate a pregnancy. This includes sensitivity about what is documented in their clinical record.
-
During the informed consent process, I will include any information about my role as a legally mandated reporter, and/or any requirements to break confidentiality in the event that a client discloses an abortion to me, as applicable. I will provide this informed consent to all of my clients as part of the routine informed consent procedure about limits to confidentiality.
-
I will examine my internalized stigma and biases about abortion, pregnancy, and mental health, and will seek appropriate supervision when needed.
-
I agree to complete the mandatory Pro-ChoiceTherapists training and comprehension quiz, offered by ProChoiceTherapists.org
