press release

Rogue crisis pregnancy agency the "Women's Resource Centre" has been forced to change its name following a sustained campaign by Choice Ireland. It has emerged that the rogue crisis pregnancy agency the "Women's Resource Centre" has taken out full-page ads in the new issue of the Golden Pages under the new name "Abbey Counselling Centre". The agency, previously known as "Alpha" and "British Alternatives Pregnancy Service", has been forced to change its name several times following exposures of unethical activity, provision of false medical information and intimidation of women seeking information on abortion services. The agency, then known as the "Aadams Agency", was also named at the centre of an illegal adoption scandal in 1999.

Its not just pregnancy counselling but ANYBODY in Ireland can call themselves a counsellor, life coach, guidance counsellor or even (this one particularly scared me) "Consultant" and appoint themselves as an "expert" and start charging unwitting people. In other European countries you cannot set up any kind of counselling service without having certain guarantees to the public regarding ethics. If this were done in Ireland instead of letting every opinionated person with a belief that their life experience qualifies them to "help" others rather than supervised training, then we wouldn't see "agencies" of this sort in the first place. |
