The SCV Pregnancy Center offers education, pregnancy tests and counseling for women who become pregnant, and programs are in existence for parents and fathers to be.
In the 21 year history the Center has provided services to over 9,000 people.
While most of the Center’s services are geared towards new families, they do offer grief counseling for women who decide to terminate their pregnancy.
“Women who have a miscarriage can openly grieve the loss of their pregnancy. Women who terminate their pregnancy have a difficult time recognizing that they have suffered a loss,” said Angela Benner, who heads up the SCV Pregnancy Center.
Bennett went on to say that often woman do feel grief and sometimes they try to suppress it by using drugs or alcohol.
