The Florida Pregnancy Support Services Program
has developed a statewide network of centers to provide specific pregnancy support services to pregnant women. These pregnancy support centers provide information, education, counseling, and services solely to promote and encourage childbirth to pregnant women. The hours of operation vary among centers but most are open from 8 am – 5 pm. There is also a 24-hour hotline that pregnant women can call for help: 1-866-673-HOPE. Our centers provide these services during the pregnancy and for up to one (1) year after childbirth, if desired by the mother.
