Prevention and Community Outreach for Pregnancy Help Centers
Prevention and community outreach can be key components of the overall work of pregnancy help centers. 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. Additionally, by the end of this training, you will earn enough CEU's to apply for or renew your Life Affirming Specialist Designation.
To participate, you must meet the following requirements:
- Have reliable access to a computer with an internet connection and the ability to download and print documents for additional reading.
- Be able to devote three to four hours per week to the live course session and homework assignments.
- Be self-motivated and comfortable completing additional reading assignments, activities, and tests on your own.
Please note, this eight week session includes a live weekly session on Tuesdays at 12 PM EST. Additionally, participants of this training will be able to communicate with the instructors via e-mail.
Next Session: The next session begins with our first live session on January 28th.
