Free Counseling by Telephone
If you are facing an unintended pregnancy, you may have spiritual concerns you want to address as you consider your options. Lots of women do. Including your spirituality in your decision-making can enrich and enhance this experience in you life. Faith Aloud wants to walk with you through this important journey.
Or, perhaps you had an abortion, recently or long ago, and need to talk about your experience and feelings.
Faith Aloud wants every woman to feel confident and happy after her decision. We want every woman to feel supported. We believe that women are good, created in the image of God, and able to make difficult decisions. We believe this power to make personal decisions is good and given to us by God.
Many women feel judged by people around them who want them to feel badly about their difficult life choices. We will not burden you with moral judgments about your pregnancy and choices. We will listen to your needs and concerns, help you explore all possible choices and will honor your decisions. We want to offer you an opportunity for candid dialogue about your experience and provide the support you need to move forward in a healthy way.
Our specially trained counselors are clergy and religious counselors: Roman Catholic, Jewish, Unitarian-Universalist, Protestant Christian, and Buddhist. Persons of no particular religious faith are equally welcome to receive our services. All counselors have the minimum of a Master's degree that includes theological training and have also completed specialized training in pregnancy options and abortion counseling.

If you have recently received counseling through Faith Aloud, we want your feedback. Please take this short survey. You will need the passcode given you by your counselor.
What should I expect when I call?
Tell the person who answers that you would like to set up an appointment with a counselor. She will take a little bit of information and then select a counselor who would be a good fit for you. She will have the counselor call you at the time of your choice. If you receive the voicemail when you call, just leave a first name and number and say that you want to speak with a counselor. It's that simple.
Worried about how abortion might affect you?
The American Psychological Association has studied the effects of abortion on women. Read what the professionals say.
Your donations help us provide training to clergy counselors, keep our phone lines open, and provide the very best spiritual resources to women before and after abortion.
