BREATHE is an after-abortion care program that offers emotional healing to those who have experienced abortion. Whether having an abortion was a decision made alone or was the result of being pressured by someone else, the emotional aftermath deserves tender attention.
We provide in-person and virtual group opportunities that guide participants through emotional healing. Our groups meet every week for six weeks in various locations in and around the Pittsburgh area.
Even if abortion seems to have little impact on an individual, it is essential to take time and process these events. Whether it has been decades since the abortions or only a matter of weeks, attempting to process the emotions in isolation can lead to depression, anxiety, or many other undesirable feelings.
Coming together in a non-judgmental environment with others who understand, we can feel safe to open up about the past. In addition, by sharing our stories, we can learn to identify how abortion affects us individually.
We recognize speaking about the past can stir up unsettling feelings like fear and guilt. However, taking these vital steps toward self-care is possible, and we're here to help.
Each BREATHE group leader has personally gone through the group themselves. These individuals have discovered that healing from abortion is possible and necessary to embrace life and walk in purpose. Each group leader has received deep emotional restoration and life transformation. Each leader is passionate about sharing this process with others and joining them on their healing journey.
Here is where your healing begins.
Jessica Patterson has been facilitating after abortion groups since 2011. After initially feeling reluctant, she eventually participated in a group to heal from her own abortion.
Through her group experience, Jessica discovered that there was freedom from the heartache she had been living with years. She received such deep healing that her life was transformed. It is now one of her greatest passions in life to come alongside others who have had a similar experience and walk with them on their own journey to freedom from abortion.
Author of "Where Do Broken Hearts Go?"
In our groups we oftentimes use Jane Abatte's book, Where Do Broken Hearts Go? to guide us on our healing path. Jane has an incredibly powerful story. With compassion, she shares what she has learned through her own abortion experience to help others find hope and joy.
There is profound wisdom in her book, accompanied by self-refection exercises that help her readers examine the many emotions associated with abortion. Listen to her story. Be inspired to find yours.
