Abortion Referrals Training (ART)
Because comprehensive skills and information about abortion care are often left out of pregnancy-related training for many professionals, Provide's ART program fills this gap with trainings, tools, and resources to equip care providers for these nuanced discussions with clients and patients.
Beyond the basics of providing high-quality pregnancy options counseling, our training gives providers the best language, practices, and tools to counsel clients considering abortion, and offers insight into managing these conversations, including the conflict that providers face when personal values conflict with professional ethics.
Web-Based Programs
Using ART curriculum, we developed shorter webinars to train and educate care providers on specific topics of stigmatized care and abortion access. Topics include supporting trans and non-binary clients, fat clients, and LGBTQ+ clients. We also provide trainings that illuminate hidden barriers to care, self-managed abortion and the law, as well as identifying racial disparities in reproductive healthcare.
