Help after an abortion

Program
Description
Project Rachel:
 It's normal to grieve a pregnancy loss, including the loss of a child by abortion. It can form a hole in one's heart, a hole so deep that sometimes it seems nothing can fill the emptiness.
Silent No More:
 The Silent No More Awareness Campaign is an effort to make the public aware of the devastation abortion brings to women, men, and their families. Our hope is that the emotional and physical pain of abortion will no longer be shrouded in secrecy and silence, but rather exposed and healed.
Rachel's Peace:
 The RACHEL'S PEACE team has facilitated over 30 retreats in Northern Illinois since 1999.  In 2002 we adopted the interdenominational version of RACHEL'S VINEYARD. 
Rachel's Vineyard:
 Rachel's Vineyard is a safe place to renew, rebuild and redeem hearts broken by abortion.; find your inner voice; and is therapy for the soul
Time to Speak:
 Their purpose is to awaken hearts and minds so we can truly understand the consequences of our choices and how those choices effect the plan for our lives.
