Through Kentucky Support Network ("The Network"), we offer information and practical support such as transportation, language access, and information to people seeking abortion services in Kentucky.

KHJN believes in YOU calling the shots on your healthcare. We share information with individuals on how to make informed decisions as well as train professionals on how to keep you at the center of the work.
