Mark McDougal, Executive Director of Ruth Harbor Ministries, discusses how to make a referral from a pregnancy center to a maternity home work well.

Reaching schools, churches, and community groups with educational programs that promote biblical truth and optimal health helps “make abortion unwanted today and unthinkable for future generations.”

Whether your center has a prevention outreach already in place or you are just considering starting a program, this class will equip participants in planning, implementing, and evaluating an effective prevention and community outreach program.

The day in the life of a Pregnancy Center Director. There are joyful days as lives are saved and there those stressful days. Maybe you have a staff meeting at 12:00pm, a webinar at 2:00pm, and a Board meeting at 6:00pm when you'll tell the Board, "we need more funds." Before this day even began you had a sick little one that you needed a sitter for and the dog ran out the door that you had to chase as you were trying to hurry to work and were already late. The copier is on the brink and you can't copy the needed Board reports, the internet is down and you can't pull up client files and the employees are struggling; you're already short staffed and need to assist in the counseling room with an abortion minded client that you're just not emotionally prepared for after the stress of the morning. You've reached burn-out by the end of the day! Sound familiar?

The very title makes people uncomfortable. Yet, when people hear the message, they are excited and relieved. The message is about truth, lies, honesty, and what to do with it all. Have you ever wondered when you would "arrive" spiritually, only to feel like all you do is fall short? Have you ever compared yourself to other women and found yourself wanting? Have you struggled with unforgiveness and bitterness born from a deep hurt; trying to forgive but dealing with the same feelings over and over? Stop giving God only your best in an effort to impress Him, and start giving Him what he wants - your worst. Diving into a more honest and full relationship with God in this way makes finding peace with oneself and others much easier.

This webinar, based on the most modern neuroscience, will explain how sex is described as a whole body or whole person experience. Beginning with the brain as the biggest and most important sex organ of the body, the hormones in the brain act on the brain cells to influence our emotions and habits thus our patterns of thinking and living. Our popular culture has led us to believe that it was okay to have sex at any age with whom we want as long as we “protect” ourselves from disease and pregnancy with condoms and contraception. Nevertheless, we were designed by God so that we can be protected by being connected to one person for a lifetime in marriage. That is what we ought to be teaching and challenging our children to be thinking about and living their lives for protecting their brains and yes their bodies from experimenting sexually and therefore avoiding sexual risk.

Objectives:

1.    Describe adolescent brain development and maturation especially the role of the prefrontal cortex in decision making.
2.    Explain the neurohormones and how they act on the brain cells affecting our emotions and actions including sexual activity.
3.    Describe healthy and unhealthy relationships and how influenced by neuroscience
4.    Explain rationale for recommending Sexual Risk Avoidance Education [aka Abstinence]
a.    Physiologic
b.    Physical
c.    Biblical

This course offers continuing education contact hours for nurses. Provider approved by the California Board of Registered Nursing, Provider Number CEP 16061 for 1.25 contact hours.

Client sexual education and encouragement to live a healthier lifestyle can be key components of the overall work of pregnancy help centers. Having a staff that is sufficiently educated on scientific sex ed that they can effectively convey messages that promote biblical truth and scientifically proven health can help “make abortion unwanted today and unthinkable for future generations.” This course is designed for centers with a high number of clients in the 18-24 age group. These women, especially if they are on a college campus, have been indoctrinated through gender ideology to believe that it is natural for them to be promiscuous.

Workplace accommodations for pregnancy have long been a challenging area of compliance, and clients may be taking this into account as they make a decision regarding their pregnancy.  The Americans with Disability Act does not consider pregnancy a covered disability, and the Pregnancy Discrimination Act does not require accommodation beyond those offered to similarly situated employees. That gap prompted Congress to pass the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act in June cementing the right to workplace accommodations for pregnant workers. And beyond pregnancy, there are a plethora of conditions that may give rise to a request for a workplace accommodation.  

Join this webinar to learn the considerations in guiding a client who is facing challenges in continuing their employment in light of their pregnancy or how to respond to a request from a staff member who wishes to adjust how they perform their duties.

The Commitment of Care and Competence serves as the ethical code of practice for pregnancy help organizations. As the moral compass that guides how we conduct ourselves at every level of the organization, how often do we think about what the Commitment of Care and Competence (CCC) means for our daily interactions, or even what it actually says? 

 This course will not only cover what the CCC says and what it means, but will go through how it is meant to influence the work being done daily in your Pregnancy Help Organization. This course is approximately one (1) hour and includes a quiz. Both the training and quiz must be completed to earn a completion certificate.

Your center has a strong incentive to increase your reach - your message literally saves lives! This session looks closely at three tried and proven tactics that have helped other centers get their life message in front of the right person at the right time. Presented by Melanie Bowman
Modern American women most likely to choose abortion, need us to listen, to understand, and to respond to their actual concerns. Science, through research, uncovers the underlying emotional reasons why unintended pregnancy, for her, is perceived as a complete loss of control over her present and future self. 

In the consulting room, we must address this felt need in a relational and compassionate manner -openly, honestly, and truthfully, while grappling with her own inner convictions. Join us as we explore using two effective Heartbeat resources to put into practice, framed from the woman's own perspective, a new vision free from negative consequences.

Grow confident in identifying and supporting the best recovery options for residents in your maternity home. Also, prepare to identify relapse and support residents through that relapse into optimal health. Presented by: Katie Camus
This workshop focuses on the recovery process our moms go through both from substance abuse and from trauma. There comes a point in recovery where many girls begin to self sabotage, to fall back into old patterns, and often they return to a trauma-controlled maladaptive lifestyle ( TCML). In my research and experience, I have found there is a saturation point where many of us seem to hit a wall in the recovery process. Often clients whom have made tremendous progress suddenly reject additional help and no longer participate in their recovery. The recovery saturation point is easily identifiable when you know what to look for. Understanding this important aspect of recovery will help your clients achieve their goals, maintain their sobriety, and sustain the stability they have achieved.

There truly is a way to prioritize balance and implement a cadence of rest for your organization...and by the way, it is what Jesus EXPECTS us to do!

Freeing women from sexual exploitation is essential in stopping abortions. This workshop will show how to create an outreach for women trapped in the devastating cycle of sexual exploitation. Presented by: Karla Sutter
It is important that sexual health and relationship education occur in every setting in the pregnancy help clinic/center. It is important that the nurse/counselor/advocate is empowered and trained in having discussions around sexual activity, number of partners, coerced sex and trafficking and sexual assault. These are extremely personal situations surrounded by secrecy, fear and shame. It is important to understand the why and how of sexual health counseling, and to provide tools for successful outcomes.

Workshop participants will leave the webinar knowing how to:

Understand the need for sexual health and relationship education in the counseling setting and the importance of including it in almost every intake regardless of outcome of testing.
Be able to obtain and utilize counseling and communication "tools" to open up these sometimes difficult discussions that lead the client into real self-examination around her sexual activities and relationships.

A law intended to be used in support of abortion clinics provided a unique opportunity following the Dobbs decision to hold those who attacked pregnancy care centers accountable for their actions. Working with local pregnancy care centers, state attorneys general, and volunteer attorneys, we are standing against the attacks of those who would pick up a brick to express their disagreement with the pro life community.
Presented by Jeremy Dys, First Liberty Institute
A call comes in—It’s a local reporter, and she wants to know if your center gives out birth control. No? Well, don’t you receive funding through the state? Why should you be receiving a dime from the city council when you won’t even refer for abortions?

Questions like these can feel intimidating, but there’s a situation you should dread even more: radio silence. Good press relations is both proactive and reactive, and a well-written press release is an essential component to building credibility in your community to expand your reach to the woman near you who needs it most. Consider these questions and more—including who should be answering questions at your organization in the first place—with Heartbeat International’s former Director of Communications Jay Hobbs.

Acknowledging the miraculous gift of life has been recognized long before the electron microscope. What advancements in science has done is to make that miracle’s creation not only visible to the human heart, but to the human eye.
