How We Help

“The love I’ve been surrounded by, including SHIFRA and your extreme generosity, is like nothing I’ve ever felt” - Rina

Jewish Pregnancy Crisis Help

An unexpected pregnancy can bring a whirlwind of emotions and thoughts that can be overwhelming and scary. If you need to be heard, we are here to listen. If you want a team to lean on during your unplanned pregnancy, we are here to support you.

You can get help for only an hour or for over a year—you make the call.

Our services include free counseling by professional counselors, material aid, financial aid grants, community referrals, and more.

Our Virtual Services

Pregnancy Counseling

Receive support throughout your time with SHIFRA, including sensitive follow-up in the event of a miscarriage or abortion. Your counselor will be with you from your first call until your child’s first birthday.

Dad & Couples Coaching

Fathers and couples can speak with our family counselor, Dr. Klein, to help navigate through this difficult time and learn skills to flourish as parents and/or couple.

Material Aid

We provide physical items to meet your specific material needs: maternity clothing, baby clothing, equipment, and more. We also provide prenatal, post-partum and first birthday care packages.

Financial Aid

Clients receive a financial aid package customized to their most urgent needs whether it be postpartum help, career support or emergency housing.

Parenting Classes

We provide physical items to meet your specific material needs: maternity clothing, baby clothing, equipment, and more. We also provide prenatal, post-partum and first birthday care packages.

Community Connections

If we don’t offer it directly, we help you find it. We offer referrals to partner agencies who provide housing, employment support, adoption services, and other support you may need.
