Many people find they suffer from the effects of an abortion.  Although some may suffer more immediately after the abortion itself, others may not begin to recognize issues until years – sometimes many years – have passed.  Confidential counseling is provided to anyone who is struggling with the effects of a past abortion.  Due to the sensitive nature of post abortive counseling, Catholic Charities provides counselors who are fully trained and experienced in this area.  Some of the issues covered include grief, loss, shame, guilt, trauma and depression.  The purpose of the counseling is to assist individuals in their healing process and help them experience wholeness and forgiveness.  For information call 719.866-6426.
