Frequently Asked Questions

  • What if I have mixed or unresolved feelings about my abortion?

    You're not alone. Many people feel a mix of emotions after an abortion, even if they were confident in their decision. Talking about it can help you move forward. 


    At Avail, you can connect with someone who truly listens. Our post-abortion support is completely confidential and led by people who have experienced abortion themselves.

  • Will I be judged if I talk about my abortion?

    We understand how hard it can be to open up. Friends or family may not understand, and some spaces may not feel safe. 


    At Avail, you will find after-abortion emotional support that is built on compassion, not judgment. Our advocates are trained in reflective listening and are here to support you, not to push you.

  • How do I know I can trust Avail?

    We understand that abortion is a sensitive topic, and that talking about your experience can feel overwhelming. That is why we offer a safe space where your story will be heard without judgment. 


    Our personal advocates are trained in reflective listening and have personal experience with abortion. They are here to support you with care and compassion. 


    99% percent of our clients say they would recommend Avail to someone in a similar situation.

  • Will anyone find out I came to Avail?

    No. Your privacy is our priority. All appointments and conversations are completely confidential. We don’t share your information with anyone, and you don’t need insurance or a referral to meet with us.

  • Is it too late to get support after an abortion?

    It is never too late to take care of your emotional health. Whether it has been weeks, months, or years, your story matters. If you're ready to begin your emotional recovery after abortion, we are here for you.


    It’s never too late to prioritize you. It’s okay to not feel ready to talk about your experience, even many months or years after an abortion. Ultimately, it’s your journey. If you are ready to talk about it, our Client Advocates are here to listen to your story with compassion and confidentiality.

  • Do I have to talk in a group?

    Not at all. You can choose what feels right for you. Some people start with one on one support and later join a group when they feel ready. Others prefer to talk privately the entire time. 


    Whether you meet individually or in a group, the support is free, confidential, and tailored to your comfort level.
