Service
If an abortion, recent or years ago, is still affecting how you feel, sleep, parent, or relate, you're not alone. Our P.A.C.E. (Post Abortion Care & Education) peer support program is free, private, and on your timeline. There is no script and no judgment about your decision.
Grief, anxiety, anger, relief, guilt, numbness, complicated dreams, and difficulty around anniversaries. Some of these surface right away. Some surface years later, sometimes triggered by another pregnancy or a life event. None of them mean something is wrong with you.
P.A.C.E. is a one-on-one peer support program with a trained peer advocate. Sessions are confidential and free. Many women meet weekly for a season; others meet less often or for a single conversation.
No. Our peer advocates are trained to listen first. We are not here to revisit the decision. We are here to support you in moving forward in a way that fits your life and your values.
