BY LifeSiteNews.com TAMPA, Florida, December 7, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) - New research published in the journal Research on Social Work Practice has found that faith-based post-abortion counselling is effective for alleviating the post-traumatic stress and shame often experienced by women after an abortion.  The Elliot institute reported on the findings, revealing that women who sought out support groups with a faith-based dimension improved significantly. Of the 35 women involved in the study, more than 80 percent said that “their religious beliefs and the spiritual intervention played a strong to very strong role in the group.”  The scientists, affiliated with the University of South Florida, suggest that social workers screen women for signs of post-abortion grief and make referrals to groups offering faith-based post-abortion counselling.  Read the research on-line at: http://rsw.sagepub.com/cgi/content/refs/14/5/344   Visit the Elliot Institute on-line at: http://www.afterabortion.org/  Read related LifeSiteNews.com coverage:  New Order of Sisters will do Pro-life and Post-abortion Counseling Work in Siberia http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2004/sep/04090303.html   tv http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/faith-based-post-abortion-counselling-helps-women-recover-from-experience/
