Frequently Asked Questions
Confiding in someone you trust is a great first step in your after-abortion healing journey. You may feel a sigh of relief when verbalizing things you’ve kept inside for weeks, months, or even years. Consider professional after-abortion healing support.
Talk to our caring team at Springwater After Abortion Healing Services to learn the next best step for you. Every woman and man’s journey is unique after abortion.
One study revealed that women who have an abortion face an increased risk for mental health problems, including substance abuse, anxiety, and depression. Many women have walked the road you are on right now– you are not alone in your healing journey.
Maybe you felt relief after abortion but were surprised with other emotions you began to feel. Other emotional side effects of abortion can include:
- Regret
- Sadness
- Feelings of isolation
- Guilt
- Nightmares
- Anger or rage
- Suicidal impulses
- Desire to self-harm
All appointments at Springwater After Abortion Healing Services are free. It is our goal to provide you with confidential, supportive care.
We recognize that confidentiality is of the utmost importance to our clients. Confidentiality is kept unless there is suspicion of abuse to a minor or concern of suicide/homicide.
We welcome any additional visitors, whether it’s a significant other, a friend, or a family member. We offer after-abortion resources to both women and men.
For our services provided by only by a licensed counselor (one-on-one counseling and Food for Thought groups), we are only able to serve individuals in Massachusetts due to licensing regulations. Our faith-based groups and support are available to those who are outside of MA.
