Different resources work for different people. Our list of support resources represent a variety of help options, including trained peer counselors, professional therapists, individual counseling, group counseling, and weekend-retreat workshops.

All of the resources will protect your confidentiality. Most resources are free. However, of those that aren’t, some offer a sliding scale fee and others accept private insurance.

Here are some suggestions to help you navigate the different resources available:

1. Some people find individual counseling meets their needs, others find that a retreat atmosphere or support group is helpful, and others prefer a combination of both.  If you try a particular resource and find it does not fit your needs, don’t give up.  Perhaps another resource is right for you.

2. *Religiously affiliated groups are often open to people of varying denominations and faith backgrounds - including no faith background.  Please inquire when you call an organization about options for your particular background.  Even if the resource does not fit your needs, they may be able to refer you to a resource that does.

3. Additional resources for after abortion help or other counseling is available in your local phone book.  You can look under the headings "Counseling," "Psychologists," "Social Workers," "Support Groups - Bereavement," or "Churches" for clergy and pastoral counseling.

Please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (1-800-273-8255) if you’re thinking about or planning to hurt yourself.
