Be'ad Chaim operates 7 different centers throughout the state of Israel. Each of our offices offers both telephone and personal face-to-face counseling. We also offer free pregnancy testing.
Our multi-lingual counselors provide service nearly 24 hours a day in Hebrew, Arabic, Russian, and English. They undergo extensive training to enable them to provide accurate information on abortion practices in Israel, the effects of abortion on women, birth control, and abstinence. Counselors are also available to support mothers throughout their pregnancies and beyond by accompanying them to doctor’s appointments, by providing on-going emotional support, and by guiding them on how to obtain practical help. We have weekly prayer meetings in most of the centers. Jerusalem: The home office is based in downtown Jerusalem for easy access. Here, we offer ultrasound testing free of charge to our clients. We hope to expand the use of the portable ultrasound machine to other offices. We also offer monthly support group meetings for new mothers; providing friendship and encouragement, lessons on topics helpful to raising babies, and discussions on God's love and purposes for each of our lives.

Call us – 054-6998717 Nazareth – The birth of this Arab speaking office is going very slowly and recently we have been offered an office in the local hospital. Pro-life work in the Arab community is very difficult so we pray for God's guidance as we move ahead with this new work. Call us – 052-5149439 Post Abortion Syndrome (PAS) Counseling Because the risks and consequences of abortion continue even after women go through with them, they need emotional and sometimes physical healing. Symptoms like guilt, sleeplessness, nightmares, anxiety attacks, suicidal thoughts are similar to those brought on by any traumatic experience. Be’ad Chaim feels responsible to provide women with the opportunity to receive healing from the trauma of abortion and to educate them regarding its staggering consequences. Our counselors are trained to give one-on-one counsel to promote the healing process. We also have a workbook available in 4 languages. The workbook can be used individually or in a group setting. PAS support groups exist in several cities following a recent PAS seminar. |
