Nondirective Counseling and Referral Sample Policy Template

Title X projects must not provide abortion as a method of family planning. Title X projects must offer pregnant clients the opportunity to be provided information and counseling regarding each of the following options: prenatal care and delivery; infant care, foster care, or adoption; and pregnancy termination. This sample policy template was updated in August 2022, is aligned with the Title X Final Rule, and can be modified with agency or site-specific information.

This tool is part of Establishing and Providing Effective Referrals for Clients: A Toolkit for Family Planning Providers, which supports Title X grantees’ ability to provide effective referrals to meet the needs of their clients.
