Women are core to a kinder and better society. At The I Can Centre™ we are passionate about the health, well-being and empowerment of women, incl those in crisis pregnancies and those who have become single parents. We are also very interested in women's health and well-being in mid- and later life, and in raising awareness of the challenges and potential that can come with the second half of life, incl making organisations age and menopause-friendly (see our AgeSpire project inspiring health and well-being through mid- and later years - click here).  

At The I Can Centre™ we have grave concerns about abortion given our review of the evidence, our 20+ years experience working with women very distressed post-abortion, and our commitment towards equality, respect and non-violence e.g. biologically, scientifically and genetically two humans can only conceive another distinct human who then loses his/her life in an abortion. What community can do well with the loss of their young, often on an industrial scale? Instead, we want to see the bar raised so that pregnancy is an exciting time, where women and their young are welcomed, celebrated and resourced. In fact, our vision is that young women become so confident, and so well resourced and supported, that abortion becomes unthinkable; and "crisis pregnancy" becomes a thing of the past. This is already happening.

We are also concerned with the divisive and disempowering "cant" language around abortion. Women in fact are strong and gutsy, and we CAN  juggle parenting with other interests and commitments to have a great future; and once resources and supports are in place, In fact, we need to raise the bar particularly for expectant fathers and our politicians so that these step up with resources; the wider community too incl our women-helping-other-women (WHOW) subgroup.

• New WHOW members are welcome reflecting diverse views on abortion. Do consider joining WHOW for respectful learning and collaboration towards supporting young women in crisis pregnancies and their families. Because #WomenDeserveBetter!  

We offer a range of community CBT supports to help women at all ages and stages address challenges of low mood, stress and/or all types of anxiety e.g. worry, panic, and low confidence.  This support can include free 1-1 CBT with one of our trainees (only at certain times/locations), AND DAKtivist™places on our community courses, e.g. for lone mums, or those in crisis pregnancies, we can take an act-of-kindness pledge as part/full payment for a class.Furthermore, the more paying attendees we have, the more DAKtivist™  places we can offer. 

We collect quality, children's items that our clients no longer need, e.g. toys and clothing. These are then redistributed via community organisations to help lone parents. These items do make a huge difference to the lives and well-being of lone parents and their children, especially at holiday times.

Please note: it is our policy NOT to donate individual items to individual parents. Instead all items are logged, and then given directly to organisations who are better positioned to use these as part of a wider package of resources and suppor
