post abortion support
Had an abortion? Finding it difficult to come to terms with an abortion? Scared to talk about it in case you are judged or misunderstood? Amica offers post abortion support.

A client comments,

"When I first walked into Amica feeling so low and depressed I thought that there was no hope. Somehow though you start seeing things in a different light and realise that there is a way of getting through this. It is a healing process and you just learn how to deal with it and let go of the trauma that you've been through.

Abortion is a subject you can't just discuss with anyone and even when you try you feel that no one understands. That's why organisations like Amica are so important and you find the answers to so many doubts and worries. You realise you are not the only one feeling this way. I hope others who have been through this traumatic experience find the help that I did."

Post abortion support will help to deal with the problem and symptoms of post abortion stress.

practical support, advice & information
Need practical help or support? Don't think you can manage alone? Amica offers a befriending service - people willing to support you whatever your decision is. Amica can also provide help with baby clothes and equipment and information on services and benefits available to you.
