What is Avenues’ organization all about?
Avenues Pregnancy Clinic in Glendale was established to help teens and women who are experiencing unplanned pregnancy situations. We know that financial situations, family and peer pressure, school and/or work situations, physical, emotional or mental problems, and many other circumstances can effect a woman’s feelings when it comes to being pregnant.
Our peer-counseling program helps our clients look at the various aspects of their pregnancy situations. As we listen to each client and help her address situations in her life, she is better able to seek information and make the best and most responsible decision for herself and for her baby. If she has a need for more specialized help, we have referrals to those in our community who are best qualified to help her.
Because we care about each client, we offer all of our services free of charge. We have a dedicated group of staff and volunteers whose primary purpose is to share information and care to each client in a non-judgmental, loving environment.
