Any woman aged 13 and over concerned about unplanned pregnancy can access advice and information about EHC through the help72 scheme.

help72 is a free and confidential service and is only available to women who live in Rotherham and are registered with a Family Doctor/ GP in the UK.

Don't forget: EHC is for occasional use only. It should not be relied upon as a regular method of contraception. If you do require regular contraception visit your Family Doctor/ GP, CASH or Youth Clinic for advice on which method is best for you.
