German term or phrase: Frauenambulanz

Information sheet for parents of stillborn children.

The Frauenambulanz is not a gynaecological dept. but rather offers psychological help to women with problems/in difficult situations (see link). Stuck on a "non-wordy" equivalent in English. Grateful for suggestions.

Sentence reads: Wenn Sie während Ihres Klinikaufenthaltes psychologische Betreuung wünschen, informieren Sie bitte Ihre behandelnde Ärztin/Ihren behandelnden Arzt oder das Pflegepersonal, eine Mitarbeiterin der Frauenambulanz wird gerufen.

Women's Service

Explanation:
Just one possible idea (Women's Clinic sounds like a purely gynaecological thing)

1 hr confidence:

women's trauma unit

Explanation:
This is what I would call it, but perhaps it doesn't qualify for a "non-wordy" equivalent. I agree with Armorel's suggestion, as long as there is sufficient context. Otherwise, "women's service" could be interpreted rather broadly.

5 hrs confidence:

women's therapy clinic

Explanation:
I think you need to convey somehow that it is for mental health, not GYN, social center, or place for babysitting services and a gym, etc. In AE, at least, people go to great length to avoid the words "mental health." They use euphemisms like "wellness" or "behavioral clinic." But I think therapy is clearest and not so silly as those.

Counselling Service for women

Explanation:
I see that this is a "niederschwelliges Angebot" für "wenig motivierte Patientinnen" so it must sound as harmless and friendly as possible, while being obviously something professional.
Thus I suggest calling it a counselling service.

Women's Service and Care Centre are too vague, and calling it a Trauma Unit or a Clinic sounds too medicinal (especially for those who think of trauma=breakage).
