Post Abortion Support:
Services At The Center
Harrisonburg Pregnancy Center offers a free and confidential 10 to 12 week abortion recovery workshop. It is for anyone who is suffering emotionally as a result of a prior elective abortion. It uses a bible-based workbook called "Forgiven and Set Free." Although it is a Christian program, women of all faiths are welcome to participate and have been helped by the workshop.
Some of the Program Goals
- Education about the nature of abortion.
- To recognize and verbalize feelings.
- To acknowledge the need and reality of grief in the abortion experience.
- To restore the broken relationships that resulted from the abortion, including one's relationship to God.
- To learn what genuine repentance means, to receive God's forgiveness, and learn to forgive ourselves as well as others.
- To achieve a better self-image.
- To learn ways to relate better to children.
- This study journeys through stages of the grief cycle: relief & denial, anger forgiveness, depression, letting go & acceptance.
