For Clients

Our Commitment - To Our Clients

We respect our clients and provide a safe, non-judgmental place for them to sort through their circumstances and become equipped to sort through the hard decisions they face. For this our clients are grateful.

We recognize that women have the right to make their own decisions about the outcome of their pregnancies and their sexual health. We are here to help women and their partners make informed and thoughtful decisions. Although we provide valuable and credible health information, we encourage our clients  to seek, and refer for, professional medical, legal, or counseling advice.

All of our client services are provided free of charge. If you feel compelled to help our clients so we can continue to provide services free of charge, please visit our donate page to further our ministry.

Loving Parents is an incentive program for moms and dads of preborn and/or young children. Loving Parents meets regularly to go through important lessons about parenting and how to care for themselves and their children, both before and after birth.

After Abortion Support
Our abortion recovery program provides support to women who have experienced abortion, and to men who have been involved in or excluded from an abortion decision. God’s merciful grace is shared and applied as a balm to hurting wounds, bringing about restoration to the glory of God!

Many women struggle with thoughts and memories of abortion. A woman who has had an abortion may look fine on the outside…but on the inside, she may be hurting, feeling alone, and suffering in silent pain. She needs to know she is not alone. Those hidden feelings and pain do not have to go on forever. There is hope and healing for women struggling to come to terms with an abortion decision.

Some common symptoms following an abortion can include:

• Anxiety
• Regret/guilt
• Sadness/sorrow
• Anger/rage
• Feelings of loss
• Secrecy
• Depression
• Suicidal impulse
• Isolation
• Drug/alcohol abuse
• Repeat abortions
• Nightmares
• Emotional pain

Women are often surprised to find that abortion can be a traumatic experience. Grief and guilt experienced by a woman soon after an abortion, or decades later, often go unrecognized and are often repressed or denied. Because abortion is considered a voluntary act, a woman’s post-abortion grief is sometimes not understood or supported.

This program offers individual or group support to anyone dealing with a past abortion who would like to find genuine, caring help. This assistance is given by trained volunteers who truly understand the heartache which so often follows abortion.
