This course is designed to equip staff and volunteers in pregnancy help centers, maternity homes, and related life-affirming ministries with practical tools for supporting women who have experienced trauma. The training explores how trauma, especially adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), can influence pregnancy, parenting, and overall well-being, while offering biblically grounded strategies for fostering healing and resilience.

Students will learn the key principles of trauma-informed care as defined by SAMHSA, how trauma impacts brain development, stress response systems, pregnancy outcomes, and maternal-child bonding. Practical applications are reinforced through scenario-based learning and reflection questions.

This course is ideal for individuals working in pregnancy help organizations who want to increase their effectiveness in walking alongside women with trauma histories. It is particularly helpful for caregivers seeking both evidence-based knowledge and faith-rooted approaches to serve with compassion.

This is a presentation for “people helpers” - those who minister to the public. The goal is to help these helpers recognize symptoms that indicate they are in over their heads. It covers the disorders and entanglements they might face in this capacity and what to do if they are faced with this. It is not to diagnose or to teach clinical research but rather for them to see the warning signs and extricate themselves if necessary. Presented by Dinah Monahan
