​About Us

We began as a small group of people with a bold idea, a passion for ending abortion stigma, and a vision of creating a safe place to talk openly and honestly about abortion.

After years of meetings, research, and planning, Connect & Breathe incorporated as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) in the summer of 2010 and opened the phone lines in January of 2011. Since our inception, we have talked to people from across the U.S., Canada and beyond.

We affirm all people's experience with abortion, no matter what. In order to support all people with abortion experiences, our work remains staunchly outside of the political realm. We are inclusive of diverse religious perspectives, while not representing or advocating for any particular religion or faith.

We treat every caller as an individual. We trust every caller's decision and beliefs. We're here to listen.
