For Men
Intervention
Men are often the forgotten partners during a crisis
pregnancy. However, at Care Net Pregnancy Center, men are welcome
to take part in free counseling sessions and to receive information
concerning their options. All services provided to men and women
are completely confidential and all clients are treated with compassion
and respect. (Care Net recognizes that each situation and each individual
are unique. Our staff and volunteers are committed to meeting your
needs.)
Post Abortion Support
Research
suggests that men may experience a profound sense of loss following
abortion. The most common problems experienced by post-abortive men
include the following: anger, helplessness, guilt, relationship
problems, and grief. Given the magnitude of their loss, it is normal
for men to struggle with these problems and emotions.
Also, it is not uncommon for men to repress their
own negative emotions as they try to be a strong support for their
partners. This may make it more difficult for men to recognize and
deal with their painful emotions. However, if such feelings are
not resolved, they may lead to more serious consequences such as
clinical depression or an inability to maintain healthy relationships.
Care Net Pregnancy Center offers post abortion counseling
for men as well as for women. As with all of our services, this
counseling is free and confidential. If you are a man who has been
hurt by abortion, there is hope and there is healing. Please call
us 24/7 at 608-259-1605 or 1-800-395-HELP for further information.
