Men need support too. We’re here to help with any questions or needs you may have. Please give us a call today with any questions or concerns.

Sexual Health
If you are sexually active, you are not only at risk for your partner becoming unexpectedly pregnant, but you are also at risk for contracting an STI or STD (sexually transmitted infection or disease). Some of the STIs/STDs are curable, and some are not. At Integra, we can help you learn how to protect yourself by making healthy choices for your sexuality that you can live with without regret.
Post-Abortion Grief for Men
Research suggests that men often experience a profound sense of loss following abortion. The most common problems experienced by post-abortive men include the following: anger, helplessness, guilt, relationship problems, and grief. Given the magnitude of their loss, it is normal for men to struggle with these problems and emotions.
Also, it is not uncommon for men to repress their own negative emotions as they try to be a strong support for their partners. This may make it more difficult for men to recognize and deal with their painful emotions. However, if such feelings are not resolved, they may lead to more serious consequences such as clinical depression or an inability to maintain healthy relationships.
Integra offers post abortion support groups for men as well as for women. As with all of our services, these groups are free and confidential. If you are a man who has been hurt by abortion, there is hope and healing.
Deciding to seek help may be one of the most challenging decisions you make, but it may be one of the best. To talk to someone about issues regarding a partner’s past abortion, please contact us. All calls are completely confidential.
