The Post Abortion Healing Course provides a loving and confidential environment where you can talk about past abortion(s) and bring healing to areas of unresolved conflict or hurt in your life.

Run over eight sessions, including one Saturday, each evening begins with a light supper followed by an informal talk, which is interspersed with discussion and prayer. The course is led by Caryn Dixon.

Who is it for?

The course is for women who have been through an abortion and are Christians, and also for men whose partner has been through an abortion. Women’s groups consist of up to 10 women on a course. Men are taken through the course separately.

You may be feeling anxious about coming on the course, and we would like to encourage you to talk to us about any concerns or questions you have in confidence by phoning or emailing Family Life on family.life@htb.org.uk 020 7052 0323

What people have said

'I felt very safe on the course and had an opportunity for openness and truth about an issue that was very difficult. Here I felt safe enough to revisit my abortion in an environment which was equipped to handle the consequences effectively and led by individuals who were informed and some of whom had been in a similar position.' (woman)

'The course was the most life changing and significant experience I have had, except for becoming a Christian.' (woman)
