We're here for you! Immediately after an abortion, many women report a sense of relief. They are often surprised to find that abortion can be a traumatic experience, and that in some cases "post abortion stress" symptoms don't appear until many years later. According to Dr. Julius Fogel, Ob/GYN, Psychiatrist and Abortion Provider, "There is no question about the emotional grief and mourning following an abortion. It shows up in various forms ....many come in—some are just mute, some hostile. Some burst out crying...." We recognize that not every woman who has an abortion will experience symptoms of Post Abortion Stress. However, for those that do, we are here to help.

Sometimes this secret impacts our lives in subtle ways. We are angry for no reason. We are terrified of letting things get out of control. We cannot tolerate things that remind us of the choice we made. There is hope. Life can be better. "Mourning to Joy" is here to help you come to peace with yourself. This program offers several options. Choose the one that fits you: Weekend Workshop This workshop features the Silent Voices material. The participants sleep at home and attend the workshop during Friday evening, all day Saturday, and Sunday afternoon. Some meals are served and there is a small cost to cover books and expenses. This workshop is for women only. Professional Counseling Up to 6 private sessions with a licensed professional counselor are free of charge. Counseling is available for men and women who have lost a child or children to abortion. Peer-Counseling Visit with someone who has also experienced the trauma of an abortion. These peer counselors have been through a "Mourning to Joy" program and additional training to guide you toward healing. To talk to someone about issues from a past abortion or to learn more about "Mourning to Joy," please call us. All calls are confidential.
