You Have the Right to Grieve

A Post-Abortion Recovery Education (P.A.R.E.) group may be part of your healing journey. P.A.R.E. is a self-help recovery group for women who have had a previous abortion experience.

Our commitment to women is to provide a safe, confidential arena where each woman is free to heal.

Each P.A.R.E. group runs for 8 weeks and covers the following topics: Introduction, Relief & Denial, Anger, Guilt & Shame, Forgiveness, Identifying Your Loss, Acceptance, and In Memory.

Each P.A.R.E. group is facilitated by two women, each of whom has walked her own journey after abortion and has found healing, hope, and freedom.


What other women have said:

You may experience resistant thoughts when considering joining a P.A.R.E. group. Each comment below was spoken by a woman who had resistant thoughts but pushed through and joined a P.A.R.E. group. Each woman found hope, healing, and forgiveness.

"I'll meet someone I know there and everyone will find out."

"Nothing else worked and neither will this, so what's the point? Besides, it was a long time ago."

"People say God will forgive me for this, but I'm not so sure."

"I'll be the only one there who has had more than one abortion..."

However, women who have also experienced the above thoughts and made a decision to actively pursue healing have said:

"I've been set free from hating myself."

"I found a community of women who understand what I've been through."

"I've been able to forgive everyone involved."

"I used up a lot of energy trying to hide my past. I felt like a phony Christian. Now I'm free to live and be the woman I was created to be. I don't have to hide anymore."
