Our Counselling Centres
AWO pregnancy counselling centres are available in many cities across Germany. We provide counselling on all matters relating to pregnancy, regardless of gender identity, relationship status, or family circumstances. We offer the statutory pregnancy conflict counselling and issue the official counselling certificate required for an abortion. You are also welcome to contact us at any time with questions about sexuality and contraception. According to German law everyone has a statutory right to these counselling services – anonymous, free of charge, and as often as you need them.
Our counselling is always a form of supported self-help. That is why we listen carefully, provide you with information and, if you wish, help you access the support and services you need. On this website you will find an overview of the topics we can advise on – including financial support during pregnancy, contraception and prenatal diagnostics. There is also a page on pregnancy and abortion in plain language (german). Feel free to browse, read and gather your questions – or visit us for a counselling session.
