Our Quality Control — In Content Creation
Profemina Draws on Many Years of Counselling Experience
Our Profemina counselling team relies on relevant professional qualifications in counselling women who are conflicted about their pregnancy, as well as many years of experience passed down from one counsellor to the next.
Most of the content on this homepage has its source in our counselling work.
An Interdisciplinary Approach
Our editorial team is comprised of staff members with a variety of qualifications and talents. Our content is enriched by this wide range of socio-educational, journalistic, linguistic and digital perspectives. All content is reviewed by several editors and, in some cases, also subjected to an external check, e.g. legal or medical.
Rigorous Research
We research all information with great diligence. It is important to us that you are comprehensively informed and have access to information that is not readily available elsewhere.
Monitoring and Updating
When we publish a text on our site, the work is not over: we continuously update our texts based on new facts or your feedback. For example, all texts containing information on social services are checked twice a year by default to see if they need updating — reflecting official adjustments in benefit levels.
Translation and Cultural Adaptation
Translations are tailored to the target language and culture, to meet the readers’ specific needs within their local context.
Cutting Edge Counselling Technology
All technical features are regularly tested regarding performance and are continuously optimised. Our expertise in counselling, linguistics and technology ensures the continuous enhancement of our digital coaching services. We aim to make counselling available in a low-threshold and effective format — even without the need for personal interaction.
