Resources for abortion counselors?

Hi everyone

Hey, congrats! I used to work at a clinic..... but it was literally in the early early days of the Internet (those dark days of the mid-90s *grin*) so we didn't have all those things then. I have this site bookmarked on my computer: http://abortionclinicdays.blogs.com/ - I bookmarked it at some point, but don't usually keep up with it. Looks like it might be what you're looking for.

not specifically about clinicians, but imnotsorry.net is a great resource for hearing women's stories. :)

Yeah, that one's definitely on my list. Thanks. :)

If you find something useful, could you give us an update? I'm interested as well.

eyelid suggested iamdrtiller.com, which is a fantastic compilation of testimonies from abortion providers, though I'm looking for something a little different - like a blog about day-to-day experiences, problems, concerns, where others can respond, give advice, share similar experiences, etc. Maybe nothing like that exists...

well I know I thought about that when I was a counselor during a field placement, but I didn't want to violate the trust of patients. I even felt uncomfortable sharing my experiences in a classroom with other students doing field placements.

Well obviously no one should ever share something that would violate patient confidentiality or identifying details about a patient. But I think it's fine, and beneficial, to share general experiences about the day-to-day work.
