This is an in-person support group for people who have had abortions (whether in recent months or many years ago). Many people who have abortions do not share their experiences with others due to the shame and stigma our culture associates with these decisions, or because they feel expressing their emotional experience will hinder the pro-choice movement. But sharing and getting the support you need and deserve is essential in processing your experience and supporting others in their experiences and feelings.
We are here to provide a confidential, non-judgmental space for you to share and express your feelings, which may range from empowerment, relief, grief, anxiety, guilt, sadness, happiness, and beyond. This group is not about the political or religious debate around abortion, but rather about supporting you in your post-abortion experience. You are not alone. If you want to learn more about why this group has come together, you can read that in the this blog post.
This gathering is being held on Thursday, July 31st and starting in September, it will be held monthly on the third Thursday of the month from 5:30-7:30PM. You can come to one or any number of them - it is not required to come to all of them to participate. We will limit this group size to 16 people total. It is donation-based with a suggested donation of $20 (venmo or cash at the gathering). Do not let the donation be a barrier to coming - all are welcome.
