About
Mission
Where everyone has value and deserves support.
At Mainsprings, we provide support and guidance to individuals facing the challenges of pregnancy, especially in difficult circumstances. We are dedicated to offering emotional and practical assistance, comprehensive pregnancy information, and access to programs and resources that empower our clients. With a commitment to creating a safe space, our goal is that no one has to navigate this journey alone.
Every person—adult or child—deserves love, respect, and compassion regardless of background, circumstances, beliefs, opinions, or choices.
Our support can take many shapes: emotional, spiritual, informational, and practical. We can walk alongside you for as long as you need.
Scope of Care
We provide information, education, emotional or practical support for all pregnancy options including adoption, parenting, and abortion. We support families through whatever decision they make for as long as they need.
Mainsprings is not a medical facility. We do not provide or assist in arranging for abortions, ongoing medical care, contraceptives, or STI (Sexually Transmitted Infections) testing. Clients are encouraged to visit their family doctor or primary care provider for ongoing healthcare needs. If clients do not have a family physician or primary care provider, they can reach out to Health Link by calling 8-1-1.

Our Values
Our values set the foundation for us to partner with the people we serve. At Mainsprings, we believe that our core principles are not just words on paper, but guidelines that shape our interactions with our community.
Respect
As a Christian charity, we are committed to treating you respectfully, regardless of beliefs, opinions, or background. We actively listen and empathize with your experience and journey so we can hear and see you and provide you with the support you need.
Care
We seek to understand your needs and concerns, offering emotional, informational, and practical support. Listening to your story without making assumptions allows us to provide a level of care that makes each person feel supported and safe.
Excellence
We seek opportunities for ongoing learning and growth. This requires humility—welcoming honest feedback, taking accountability for our actions, and identifying our areas of weakness to explore possibilities for improvement.
Knowledge
We are committed to providing accurate and reliable information. We consistently seek facts to expand and update our knowledge base and develop our skills to better support our clients.
Relationship
Honest and open communications build healthy relationships. Fostering powerful connections through active listening and support is key to providing a safe space where people can feel heard, valued, and cared for.
Agency
Our role is to empower clients with information and support. Clients are empowered to make their own decisions in an environment where their voice is valued and actions are purposeful. Autonomy allows one to be stable yet flexible amidst change.
