She has strong religious beliefs and is a supporter of the right to life movement. Imogen has been living at the refuge and is 10 weeks pregnant. She has decided that she wants a termination. Alice has been asked by her manager to accompany Imogen to an appointment at a women’s health centre to discuss her options. The refuge has a policy that supports self-determination and empowerment, and uses person-centred approaches to service provision. Alice’s job role description requires her to provide emotional and practical support and to encourage people to make decisions and take control of their own lives. Alice plans to take Imogen to a pregnancy counselling service which is run by an anti-abortion organisation before taking her to the women’s health centre. Imogen has told Jasmine, one of the other refuge support workers, that Alice is going to take her to the anti-abortion pregnancy counselling service. She says that she is worried they will persuade her to change her mind about having a termination. She also says Alice has been leaving anti-abortion literature in her room and has also asked her to attend a religious service with her. Alice has also suggested referring Imogen for counselling. As there is a long waiting list for subsidised counselling services, Alice has offered to refer Imogen to her cousin, who is in private practice as a psychologist. |
