About Us 

Heartbeat International is a nonprofit, interdenominational Christian association of life-affirming pregnancy resource centers, medical clinics, maternity homes, and nonprofit adoption agencies that seek to create an environment where every human heart is cherished and protected – within the womb and within strong families.

The ministry is dedicated to the purpose of establishing, developing, and supporting effective pregnancy help centers all over the world. Heartbeat affiliates offer concrete services and support to people who are experiencing or have experienced problem pregnancies; uphold the intrinsic value of every human life; and promote the special place of sexuality within marriage and children within strong families.

Crisis-intervention services in Heartbeat-affiliated centers include 24-hour hot lines, pregnancy tests and counseling, host homes, clothing, baby items, financial assistance, community referrals, helpline phone support, and abstinence counseling. Long-term and follow-up services for clients and their families in Heartbeat-affiliated centers include medical care, post-abortion support groups, parenting classes and other educational programs, adoption support groups, single-parent support groups, daycare for clients in schooling, licensed maternity homes, licensed adoption services, professional counseling, school, and community-based abstinence education programs.

All services are offered either free or at a very cost-effective rate to clients as we strive to fulfill our mission of creating an environment where every heart is cherished and protected. Services are delivered primarily by dedicated volunteers, and mostly small, paid staffs.

Currently, we serve over 900 affiliates in the United States, Canada, and in many countries overseas, providing them with the education, training and support they need to serve daily on the front-line of the fight for life.
