Each person experiences the post abortion journey differently. As well, each person has complex elements that are unique to their own personal story which impacts how they may respond. However, some women have expressed a need to seek counselling following an abortion. Some women feel grief, depression, and sadness. Consequently, there is no right or wrong way to grieve. The feelings are real, and it’s important to give yourself permission to have them.  If you feel you need help coping with your emotions, our after abortion support may be a helpful resource for you.

How do I know if after abortion counselling is for me?

If you are struggling after your abortion(s) we want you to know that you are not alone.  Some women feel it is helpful to talk about their experience but find it difficult to find a safe place to do so.  For that reason, First Place OPTIONS offers an eight week, one-on-one, after abortion support program. It does not matter how recent or how long ago your abortion(s), healing is possible and you are worth it.

All support is offered at no charge, is confidential and can be in-person or virtual.
