Besides learning the logistical ins and outs of abortions with pills (based on current WHO guidelines), one of the biggest benefits of attending Rouge Abortion Doula School is the deep understanding you'll gain about the future of abortion seeker-centered counseling. Here at Rouge, we believe that each seeker knows their own body, mind, spirit, and truth best. That's why a significant portion of our course focuses on emotional counseling methods that empower seekers to make their own informed decisions about what's best for them.
An abortion is not a one-and-done procedure without emotion - though we're often told otherwise. It can stir up a wide range of feelings in a seeker. Some may feel confident, others conflicted. Some may experience regret while others feel sadness even through their relief. The experience of abortion is vast and we strive to honor that complexity in how we counsel those who come to us for support. No one does this better than Alissa Perrucci, the author of 'Decision Assessment and Counseling in Abortion Care: Philosophy and Practice'.
In Rouge Abortion Doula School, you'll benefit from learning about abortion seeker-centered counseling directly from Alissa Perrucci and other leaders in the abortion movement. Below, you can watch a powerful conversation between Alissa and our co-founder, Lynsey, for a taste of what's to come when you join our course.
