What does this course offer?
Most parents experiencing a prenatal diagnosis want a better option than abortion.

While overall abortion rates are falling, those associated with the news of prenatal diagnosis remain high. Studies indicate that 80% of parents who receive a serious prenatal diagnosis end the pregnancy, and documented abortion rates associated with some specific diagnoses may be 90% or higher.

However, most parents experiencing a prenatal diagnosis want a better option than abortion. Most will carry to term if offered trauma-informed care, information and support. Pro-life organizations need to develop the skills and tools most effective in providing parents with informed consent regarding the option of carrying to term.

This course offers that professional development.

This course is focused on building real-world solutions.

The Care for Abortion Vulnerable Parents Training provides comprehensive instruction in responding to the crisis of a prenatal diagnosis. Study guides and ongoing contact with BNA's Parent Program Director ensure content mastery.
