Extreme meticulousness is applied to the creation of all content and in keeping it up to date.
The following standards are important to us:
profemina Draws on Many Years of Counseling Experience
Our profemina counseling team relies on relevant professional qualifications in counseling women who are conflicted about their pregnancy, as well as many years of experience passed down from one counselor to the next.
Most of the content on this homepage has its source in our counseling work.
An Interdisciplinary Approach
Our editorial team is comprised of staff members with a variety of qualifications and talents. Our content is enriched by the wide range of socio-educational, journalistic, linguistic, and digital perspectives. All content is reviewed by several editors and in some cases also subjected to an external, e.g., legal, or medical, check.
Rigorous Research
We carry out research on all information with great diligence. It is important to us that you are comprehensively informed and that you also have access to information that is not readily available elsewhere.
Monitoring and Updating
When we publish a text on our site, the work is not over: We continuously update our texts based on new facts or your feedback. For example, all texts containing information on social services are checked twice a year by default to see if they need updating - reflecting official adjustments in benefit levels.
Translation and Cultural Adaptation
Translations are tailored to the target language and culture, to meet the readers’ specific needs within their local context.
Cutting Edge Counseling Technology
All technical features are regularly tested regarding performance and are continuously optimized. Our expertise in the areas of counseling, linguistics, and technology ensures the continuous enhancement of our digital coaching services. Our aim is to make counseling available in a low-threshold and effective format — even without the need for personal interaction.
