We are here to listen,

not to work miracles.

We are here to help women discover what they feel,

not to make the feelings go away.

We are here to help a women identify her options,

not to decide for her what she wants to do. 

We are here to discuss steps with a woman, 

not to take steps for her.

We are here to help a woman discover her own strength, 

not to rescue her & leave her still vulnerable. 

We are here to help a woman learn to choose, 

not to make it unnecessary for her to make difficult choices. 

We are here to provide support for CHANGE!
