 Support Group 
CHRISTCHURCH MONTHLY SUPPORT GROUP 2012 - see below!
What’s good about a support group?
Abortion is a particular and complex type of pregnancy loss - it is
very sensitive and not much talked about.
It can feel really hard to come to a group and share your
experience
as things can be stirred up and the pain that was hidden may surface,
so it may make you feel vulnerable again.
However, in allowing yourself to be with others who have gone
through the experience too, you will discover that you are not alone.
You will see that what you are feeling is normal and the
issues you face are not unusual.
Everybody’s experience is unique, but there are often similar
themes
and issues relating to an abortion which you will learn about.
There is a sense of solidarity and more understanding for you when
you
listen to others’ stories.
Who better can appreciate your feelings and concerns than
someone
else who has been there too?
Groups meet monthly. Privacy and confidentiality apply.
Additonal individual face-to-face counselling
is also available. You can be linked in with a P.A.T.H.S. Counselling
Partner to further explore and work through feelings and issues.
The Facilitators
The facilitators are experienced in journeying with women after abortion and
understand the very real loss and trauma particular to abortion.
Their warmth and skill help create an atmosphere of caring and
you
will gain new insights into how abortion has changed you and affected
your life.
