Type of Help: Retreat day for those suffering from post abortion Contact Person: SR. John Joseph Resource: This is the fifth year of "Days of Prayer and Healing" at the Sisters of Life in the Bronx, NY for women and men suffering from a past abortion. The day is conducted by a woman who is a counselor and post abortive herself. The Sisters and a priest assist with the day and although it is centered on the Catholic sacraments people from all faiths and walks of life are welcomed and have in fact come and benefited from the days. Once someone has gone through one of the retreats, there is a monthly group beginning with prayer and then addressing various post abortion issues. Contact: Sr John Joseph 718-881-8008
Among the programs offered are Post-Abortion Counseling in Individual, Group, and Retreat settings. I have only recently discovered that I have PASS. I was referred to PHD from my gyne, and I have to say that if you are anywhere near the Chicago area, this is the most caring, supportive environment anyone could ever want. I was seen the same day I called by Kathleen Pluth, a counselor who serves as Associate Director. I felt immediately at ease and was just amazed that not only did she understand what I was going through, she was incredibly supportive. It is obvious she has had extensive education in PASS. Other programs and services include:
Crisis Intervention All of the above are detailed at their website, http://www.sphd.org. PHD is located at:
If you would like more information on my own personal experience with PHD, I will be happy to share. This center, along with this website, have been an absolute Godsend.

"Project Rachel is the post-abortion healing ministry of the Catholic Church. It was founded in 1984 in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee by Vicki Thorn. At this time, Project Rachel is in more than 110 diocese in the United States with more ministries forming. This diocesan based ministry is composed of a network of specially trained clergy, spiritual directors and therapists who provide compassionate one-on-one care to those who are struggling with the aftermath of abortion. Project Rachel is designed to provide confidential and skilled help to each individual who comes to the ministry. Project Rachel is an outreach of the Catholic Church, but it is open to anyone who is struggling after an abortion loss.
