(For Women)
|
Project Joseph(New for Men) |
The physical, emotional and spiritual pain of abortion is undeniable. Because it is such a traumatic event, many who experience an abortion develop a form of post-traumatic stress disorder known as Post-Abortion Syndrome (PAS).
Project Rachel and Project Joseph provides healing and hope to women and men wounded by abortion through the following:
- Free, confidential, professional counseling for anyone who has been wounded by an abortion experience
- Monthly spiritual support group meetings (women only at this time)
- Retreats: Options for women and for men (Project Joseph).
- Spiritual Direction or Reconciliation
