For Abortion Appointments:
Parental involvement is not required in Illinois. If you’re younger than 18, you can consent to an abortion and do not have to notify your parents. While not required, we welcome parental involvement and support throughout the process when possible.
For Gender Affirming Care:
Tennessee state law requires that minors receive parental consent for Gender Affirming Care in Carbondale IL at every visit. For more information call our office.
For Other Appointments:
In the state of Tennessee, anyone over the age of 13 can consent to reproductive health exams, birth control, and STI testing without parental consent. We encourage you to discuss your reproductive health issues and/or your plans for contraception with your parents, and they are welcome to attend your reproductive health visit with you. If there is some reason you don’t believe their presence or involvement would be in your best interest, however, you can access reproductive health care on your own.
