POST-ABORTION
Highway to Hope Abortion Recovery Counselling
Post-abortion support is offered to women and men whose lives have been touched by abortion. All services are free of charge. The Centre for Life acknowledges the grief that some women experience from an abortion and have responded to this need by offering compassionate, non-judgmental and caring post-abortion recovery counselling to assist in bringing inner peace and healing. To connect with a counsellor, email counsellors@centreforlife.ca or call (709)579-3818. Counselling services for men are available as men can also experience unresolved emotional feelings associated with abortion and are in need of support. If you reside outside our service area, counselling support maybe accessed by phone upon request.
