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!
