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.

Practical applications are reinforced through scenario-based learning and reflection questions.

It is particularly helpful for caregivers seeking both evidence-based knowledge and faith-rooted approaches to serve with compassion.
