After Abortion Care

If you feel you have never completely healed or recovered from an abortion experience, or that a past abortion may be affecting your current quality of life, Options for Women offers an after- abortion care class called Surrendering the Secret. 

This study offers an 8-step healing model facilitated by women who have been where you are. This powerful, redemptive study helps each hurting woman find her personal path to healing. 

Our mission is to provide a supportive and confidential environment that facilitates healing and restoration from a past abortion and brings a sense of hope and purpose for the future.

It’s normal to feel a variety of emotions after an abortion. We are here to listen to your story and provide you with after abortion care resources. 

  • Do not dismiss your feelings. Processing experiences like abortion are necessary and begin the pathway towards healing. 
  • You are not alone. Your partner may be experiencing similar emotions, and it can be helpful to discuss your feelings together. During this time, it’s important to support each other. 
  • If you do not have a support system, we provide a list of places where you can find one. It is important to not go through this alone. In community, you find strength. 

Visit our Patient Resources Page or review our counseling/after abortion care resource list for more information and resources on post-abortion support.

If you’d like to discuss your emotions with an advocate or are interested in our 8-step study, Surrendering the Secret, please call us at 1-863-393-6988.

It is recommended to rest after an abortion. Limit your physical activity and drink lots of fluids. Let your body be your guide.

If you are unable to rest and are experiencing painful symptoms, talk to one of our nurses at (863)393-6988 or contact our 24/7 support team at (863)431-4227.

Client Testimonials

"I just have to say the staff here is absolutely wonderful. I encountered staff at both the Florida National location as well as the S Florida location and it was just a warming experience all around. They really take the time to speak with you and discuss everything very openly with you. Everyone was welcoming and it made the experience that much better!"

“They just recently opened their new building. The staff are really nice and very helpful, wanting to get as much info out into the public as possible. They brought me right back and preformed an ultrasound without any issue, the gel was a little cold, lol. All in all 10/10 will be recommending them to anyone needing help.”

Sameerah S.
"If I could give a million stars, I would. I cannot thank this place enough. I was a very nervous person when it came to EVERYTHING PREGNANCY. But from Andrea getting me the soonest available appointment, to Paola gently listening to me rant, then advising me on my options, to Shannon and Adriana being super gentle with me during the ultrasound, I am happy I came here. I wish I could be with them throughout my whole journey but I’m grateful I had a positive start. Thank you ladies!"
Angel K.
"We gained so much throughout our last pregnancy from Options for Women. Wonderful staff and great resources that helped us so much! We only had one visit with them at the beginning of the pregnancy because we needed help with our first ultrasound (Lori and Jessica were so great!) and they kept in contact with me throughout our whole pregnancy and then Jill gave us a beautiful baby bag with lots of goodies inside. It meant so much to have so much support like that from this establishment and its employees."
