We’re Here to Support You
Every person’s experience after an abortion is unique. Some feel relief in the short term, while others struggle with unexpected emotions such as sadness, regret, guilt, anxiety, or even anger.
These feelings can surface days after the procedure, during significant life changes, or even years later. However, as your experience unfolds, you do not have to carry the weight of these emotions alone.
Ohana Health provides no-cost, confidential post-abortion support to help women and men process their feelings and find a path toward healing.
Understanding Emotional Impact
Abortion can affect mental and emotional health in different ways, leading to struggles like sadness and grief. You may notice mood changes, relationship challenges, trouble sleeping, or a sense of loss that you can’t quite explain. These responses deserve acknowledgment.
Certain factors can increase the likelihood of emotional distress, such as feeling pressured into the decision, having a history of depression or anxiety, or experiencing multiple abortions. Recognizing these possibilities is about ensuring you have the necessary tools and support.
The Support We Provide
Our trained client advocates and caring team create a safe, private environment where you can share your story without fear of criticism or blame. We offer one-on-one sessions and can connect you with trusted community resources, including licensed counseling and specialized support groups.
If you prefer a group setting, we can refer you to programs designed specifically for post-abortion healing. We also provide information about coping strategies to help you process your emotions at your own pace.
Your emotional health is closely connected to your physical well-being. If you have concerns about lingering symptoms such as heavy bleeding, pain, or fever, we can help you find appropriate medical care. Healing involves your body and mind; we’re here to support you as you address every aspect of your recovery.
Moving Forward
There is no timeline for healing after abortion. Whether your experience was recent or many years ago, you deserve compassion and understanding.
