Counselling after abortion

I waited patiently for the Lord; He turned to me and heard my cry He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; He set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Psalm 40, 1-3 At Pregnancy Assistance we have a heart for all women. We believe healing and restoration after an abortion is possible by thoughtfully integrating the experience into your life. Abortion is a delicate and complex issue. If you are upset or struggling with mixed or troubled feelings after an abortion, regardless of whether it took place recently or many years ago, please know you are not alone and we are here to support you. Your feelings matter. Every woman deserves to have her pregnancy loss acknowledged and permission given to grieve and heal, regardless of the circumstances. We have created a safe and supportive environment and our compassionate counsellors are specifically trained in this field. They will walk the journey with you, supporting you with love. We have many women contacting us in this regard. They have come to experience peace again With the support of the Catholic Archdiocese of Perth, we can now provide professional counselling in this field. The counselling is free, confidential and one-on-one. Lisette Jas Head Counsellor Restorative Branch 8
