Frequently Asked Questions / Praise and Criticism
1. What kind of experiences do women have with this counselling service?
Profemina is an internet-based and independent counselling service for women facing an unplanned pregnancy. Pregnant women who contact Profemina are looking for advice, help, and support. They are grateful that they are not alone during this difficult time and that they can turn to someone—free of charge and without any time limits! They feel heard and taken seriously with their real concerns.
If you are pregnant and worried, or unsure about what to do next: We’re here for you!
2. Is there any criticism of this counselling service?
Every pregnancy and every pregnancy-related conflict is a very personal and sensitive situation. With this in mind, our goal is to provide each woman with the best possible advice and support for her unique situation. The vast majority of women are satisfied with Profemina.
Some outsiders criticise that Profemina does not issue counselling certificates in Germany. However, the pregnant women themselves appreciate Profemina’s service as a free, tailored, and accessible support option.
To address the needs of pregnant women in distress, we conduct evaluations and analyses. We regularly update our texts and tools and continue to expand our counselling services.
