Alt-text: Poster for The Fireweed Project offering aftercare kits to Indigenous people in Canada after an abortion. Transcribed Text: The Fireweed Project is providing Aftercare Kits to Indigenous people receiving an abortion We created post-abortion support kits based on conversations with Indigenous community members who had an abortion, and expressed how much a thoughtfully crafted aftercare kit would have meant to them during their abortion journey. These kits include things like pads, cramping supplies, self-care and Indigenous-specific items. We are offering kits to folks who meet the following criteria: • Self-Identify as an Indigenous person in Canada (First Nations, Métis, and/or Inuit) • Have received an abortion within the last year (or are about to) • Are 12 years of age or older, and • Reside in Canada To order a kit, visit www.fireweedproject.ca/order-a-support-kit or use the QR code Please note that all kits will be shipped in discrete packaging and require the recipient’s signature This project is led by Drs. Renée Monchalin and Astrid Pérez Piñán from the University of Victoria in partnership with Abortion Support Services Atlantic, ekw’í7tl Indigenous Doula Collective, Northern Manitoba Abortion Support, and Northern Reproductive Justice Network.

This is such a wonderful idea.
Abortion care is health care, and #spiritualcare is equally as important for many.
