Family Planning Services
Each year, the ABCD Family Planning Partnership provides comprehensive, confidential family planning and related health counseling, education, and medical care for tens of thousands of Boston area residents in community health centers, school-based health centers, and hospital-based primary care programs.
WE’RE NEARBY
ABCD Family Planning services are conveniently located. We partner with health centers throughout Boston including the neighborhoods of Dorchester, Jamaica Plain, Mattapan, and Roxbury.
WHO QUALIFIES?
You may qualify for ABCD Family Planning services even if you don’t have health insurance. All health centers will help you sign up for insurance and refer you for other types of assistance. You may be eligible for family planning services at no cost if you need confidential services or if you qualify financially.

The ABCD Family Planning Partnership offers services including:
- Sexual health counseling and education by specially trained counselors who speak your language, including special counseling.
- Pregnancy testing and counseling.
- If you don’t want to get pregnant, all methods of birth control are explained, and you can choose and receive the method that you think will work best for you.

- Sexually transmitted disease (STD) counseling, testing, and treatment.
