Comprehensive instruction for developing a BNA-modeled case management support service

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 information and support supporting that option. Pro-life organizations need a better response to the crisis of prenatal diagnosis, and this course offers just that.

This course is focused on building real-world solutions

The Parent Care Coordinator Training provides comprehensive instruction for developing a BNA-modeled case management support and training for Parent Care Coordinators. This course focuses on building real-world solutions for trainees by studying parents who have carried to term and their stories.


Study guides, written assessments, and ongoing contact with BNA's Parent Program Director ensure content mastery.
