What are some centers for women's health/family planning?

I am looking to get involved and volunteer with an organization that does outreach work for family planning and women's reproductive health/rights but am having trouble locating one. I am looking for organizations that are NGO's and may have a more liberal outlook on women's reproductive rights than a government-sponsored organization.

Well i dont really know what some of the terminology that you used, but i volunteer for Planned Parenthood.... they have an very imformative web site with all the links that you would need including a volunteer application. You can choose how often you would like to volunteer and they type of events that youre interested in volunteering for! I like planned parenthood because i actually am a patient there and theyre all for YOU making any and all decisions necessary and theyre very non judgemental!! its a really good organizatin and i highly reccomend them! GOOD LUCK... and remember no matter WHO you volunteer for and what they believe in, youre changing someones life for the better, and doing something that not everyone has the heart to do! Have fun and happy hunting!

Blog for Women – A healthy approach in women’s life

Women are particularly burdened with stress because we tend to take everything on ourselves; children, husbands, work, volunteering in our community, and more. The obligations seem to be never ending. The good news is, this is what makes women so special – our nurturing nature that makes us put others first. The bad news is that we always put ourselves last.

Another characteristic that makes us exceptional is our ability and need to communicate. We call and visit to talk and listen. We write in our journals, write letters and email. Blogs for women are of particular help, because countless other women are right at our fingertips. It is a wonderful platform to be heard, to listen, and to give and get advice. Reaching out helps us to be our best selves, and helps us deal with our own issues.

What are some things that we learn about coping with our stress from blogs for women? We hear it over and over again from women with experience and the experts – take time for you, and this will help keep anxiety levels low. Unfortunately, it is not only our stress and emotional levels being affected, it is our physical health. Our foundation is self love and self care. When we get caught up in everything else, we forget about ourselves. Taking care of you should be on our “to-do†lists as an obligation.

What kinds of things can women do to combat stress? Not everyone has the time or the means to take a vacation or go to a spa, so it can be simple, everyday things that we can fit into our real-life schedules. If you only have a minute, some deep breathing, stretching, or even meditation and prayer can help calm your nerves. Walking and exercise are excellent ways to feel renewed and clear your mind. You can call a friend, take a bath, or read a wonderful book or a lighthearted magazine.

Maybe you have an interest in a subject, and you can take a class to further your knowledge in it. It is ok if it is something frivolous or impractical that does not have anything to do with your profession or every day life; it is something for you to enjoy. Don’t forget that it is ok to say no to volunteer work if you are overextended. Spending fun time with your children and spouse is a great stress reliever. Play a game, bake some cookies, and no homework and no TV! Some quiet bonding is beneficial for everyone involved. Most importantly, appreciate yourself, don’t dwell on the bad, and be your own best friend. After all, everyone else is counting on you, so you need to be at your best.
