Who We Are
The Abortion Support Collective (ASC) is a group of abortion doulas and support practitioners unified by the belief that abortion healthcare should be accessible to everyone. We offer direct support services in W̱SÁNEĆ and lək̓wəŋən territories. Our team is made up of care workers with many identities, including Indigenous and BIPGM, 2SLGBTQIA+, and neurodiverse members. All of our support providers bring their unique experiences with these intersections to abortion support work. The landscape of abortion care is already restrictive, we strive to ensure our support and companioning is accessible!

Community Crisis Support
The Abortion Support Collective is not a crisis response team. We care about you and your experience, and are here to accompany you through your abortion journey. Due to our scope as doulas, who are not trained as medical providers, we are unable to offer acute crisis support.
If you are in a medical emergency, please call 911. If you are experiencing an acute, emotional crisis, below are two community based crisis response lines that are available via call and text.
