 LTHOUGH a psychologist
can best provide treatment for you, it can also help to join a support group
in addition to your clinical treatment. And, for some people, a support group
is a good place to begin getting help; only after a while might you want
to seek out professional treatment.
Either way, I
have provided information about some trauma support resources below. Through
feedback, the list might grow.
Support for Healing
from Abortion
Project
Rachel is an outreach of the Catholic Church, but it is
open to anyone who is struggling after an abortion loss. It is able to help
both women and men, parents, grandparents, siblings, friends, and others
whose lives have been affected by an abortion loss.

a Survivors Support Network, a Family and Friends Support Network, and a
Rescue/Response Personnel Support Network. In addition, they provide an
information source and a professional referral source.

The
National Air Disaster Alliance is an alliance of family
groups that was formed after different U.S. aviation disasters. Not a support
group per se, it may be able to offer assistance if a family member
has been involved in an aircraft disaster.
