Women and men who have gone through an abortion often experience guilt, sadness, fear or anger afterward. This is known as Post-Abortion Stress or Post-Abortion Syndrome (PAS).

These feelings are a natural yet sometimes unexpected response. You do not have to go through them alone.

April is nationally known as Abortion Recovery Awareness Month. If you or someone you know is struggling after an abortion, hope and healing are possible.

Our compassionate staff and volunteers are here to support you. Call or text today to make an appointment with our licensed counselor.

It’s National Siblings Day!

At Starting Point, we support families of all sizes—big, small, and all sizes in between.

In every family, siblings have unique roles and relationships, and birth order often determines who is the helper, the mediator or the quiet one.

Do you have siblings? If so, where in the birth order do you fall? Are you the oldest? The baby? The often-overlooked, peacemaking middle child?

Happy Easter from your Starting Point Family!!

But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared. And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel. And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen...”

🟢Luke 24:1-6a ESV

Today we remember the greatest sacrifice ever made on our behalf.

It was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon, for the sun stopped shining. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two. Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” When he had said this, he breathed his last.

🟢Luke 23:44-46 NIV

Breastfeeding is a learning journey you and your newborn go through together. Here are a few more tips to help you along the way!

🟢 Learn Baby’s Cues: Look for hunger signs like rooting, sucking motions, or putting hands to the mouth. Avoiding waiting until the baby cries, as this can make latching more difficult.

🟢 Manage Common Challenges:

🟠 Engorgement: Use warm compresses before feeding and cold ones after to reduce swelling.

🟠 Soreness: Apply lanolin cream or expressed breastmilk to soothe irritation.

🟠 Clogged Ducts: Massage the area and continue feeding to help clear the blockage.

🟢 Ask for Help: Breastfeeding can be challenging, and it’s OK to reach out for help. Remember that feeding your baby is about what works for both of you.

🟢 Celebrate Your Wins: Whether you breastfeed for a few days or a few months, every effort counts toward your baby’s health and well-being.

These tips will help you overcome challenges and frustration. Be encouraged, and remember—you are doing your best, and that’s what matters.

Today is Palm Sunday🌴

The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them. They brought the donkey and the c**t and put on them their cloaks, and he sat on them. Most of the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. And the crowds that went before him and that followed him were shouting, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”

🟢Matthew 21: 6-9 ESV
