Why Academy? ▼

Essentially, with Academy, we hope to offer a one-stop shop where pregnancy help leaders can access sector-specific training that will help them and their organizations continue to serve their clients and communities with excellence. We recognize the difficulty of trying to research where to go get training on raising funds, leading organizations, and serving clients, while simultaneously doing all of those things so our goal is to come alongside you to make it a bit easier. With our new learning plans feature, it’s even easier to identify what you need to know about any given topic and locate those trainings and resources that you need to raise funds, lead your organization, serve clients, etc.

Plus, Affiliates receive 20% in the Academy! Click here to learn more.

What’s in the Academy? ▼

It doesn’t take much effort in today’s age to find a piece of information or training video online, but what sets Academy apart is our training goes beyond social work, Christian counseling, and nursing education, instead offering training and information through a Christian worldview specific to our pregnancy help community. With the expertise that we tap into through our faculty, we’re able to provide sector-specific training which means we’re not just training nurses in the physics and technical stuff on ultrasound, but training nurses to perform ultrasound in a pregnancy help organization as part of the process of building a relationship with that client. Not just the latest information on chemical abortion, but how best to respond to clients in this shortened window of opportunity. Now with our learning plan feature added in, even if you don’t know where to start, and don’t know what you don’t know you have a built-in guidance system of sorts to help make sure you find the right training for you.

Where does training happen? ▼

The short answer is anywhere and everywhere! When Heartbeat Academy was first launched, we focused on creating online coursework and a virtual learning space; that was what we were missing! Since 2020, we've brought those virtual and in-person worlds together so that now by completing the surveys offered onsite you can receive credit for training you’re doing in person with Heartbeat as well as credit for those digital and online training.

Join us for an in-depth discussion on aftercare programming and services for Maternity Homes. Over the past decade, maternity housing providers have reported the need for a continuation of services and programming for the women and children we serve. After transitioning into the community, and as our culture continues to change and present challenges and barriers, it is critical to be prepared to serve our courageous mothers and children.

In this webinar, we will address the timing of when to launch an aftercare program, what a structured and strategic aftercare model looks like, capacity and community-based services, as well as your "why" and the need for an aftercare program.
