Some people may experience a range of deep or intense feelings after the abortion. This can happen weeks, months and for some even years afterwards. Sometimes support is needed in dealing with these feelings.

We in CURA offer a Post Abortion Counselling Service. Specially trained counsellors based in the CURA Centres throughout the country offer this service to women and men who need to talk about their experience.

Because each person’s experience of abortion is unique, the CURA counsellor’s first response is to listen with empathy and understanding. It takes a lot of courage to seek support. Our experience informs us that what helps people from the outset is knowing that there is someone who cares.

This service is also available to other family members who need support relating to a past abortion.
