The Alliance for Post-Abortion Research and Training  

In today's world, information is critical. When confronted with so much information about abortion and its many health effects, it's easy to be confused and even misinformed. APART was formed to address this need, to assist those who may not have the opportunity or resources to study the science available - in short, to stand apart.  

The dual purpose of the Alliance for Post-Abortion Research and Training is to engage in the scientific study of the mental health risks of abortion and to disseminate accurate information concerning such risks to those who provide education about abortion and/or post-abortion counseling.  In an effort to fulfill these purposes, the Alliance will pursue the following initiatives which are furhter elaborted on under the section "About":  

1.    Engage in original research pertaining to the impact of abortion on women, men, children, primary and secondary relationships, public policy, and society.

2.    Encourage national and international scholarly communication and collaboration.

3.    Facilitate the conduct of scientifically accurate information by others.

4.    Foster collaboration between scientists and practitioners.

5.    Provide mental health training resources.

6.    Enhance informed consent, abortion decision-making, and post-abortion adjustment.

7.    Reduce the secrecy and shame associated with post-abortion grief and trauma.
