SPL Presentation: Secular Post-Abortion Healing
To schedule a virtual or in-person presentation of Secular Post-Abortion Healing, please contact us.
In this 75 minute presentation, Secular Pro-Life Executive Director Monica Snyder explores how to compassionately support non-religious people struggling after abortion. She offers answers to the following:
- Who are non-religious post-abortive people?
- Why might they want to avoid religious healing programs?
- How do we meet them where they are?
We at Secular Pro-Life designed Secular Post-Abortion Healing primarily for professionals and volunteers who want to offer healing without assuming shared beliefs. We drew from personal stories, secular grief experiences, and conversations with abortion healing experts. We also incorporated insights from both secular and faith-based advisors to ensure this presentation equips providers to welcome clients of any background with empathy, flexibility, and respect.
