Not Your Typical Ministry. Not Your Typical Training.
The Pregnancy Help Institute has provided thousands of pregnancy help leaders with professional training. Over time, this training has added key elements vital to the pregnancy help movement as services expand. This year is no different.
The Pregnancy Help Institute dives deep into core topics that are useful in the pregnancy help movement and life. Organized under three intensive tracks (New Director, Development, and Leadership), the Pregnancy Help Institute integrates executive-level instruction in a small-group environment where you'll have the unparalleled opportunity to process information and strategies with experts and fellow front-line pregnancy help leaders.

Subject Line: A Strategic Investment for Today and the Future of Our Organization
Dear Board Members,
As we continue to grow and serve more women and families in our community, I want to share with you a training opportunity that I believe is essential to our ongoing strength and success: Pregnancy Help Institute, hosted by Heartbeat International, this July.
This is not a typical conference. It’s an intensive, small-group training designed specifically for leaders and team members in the pregnancy help movement. With three focused tracks—New Director, Development, and Leadership—Pregnancy Help Institute provides deeply relevant tools for our team members at every stage of ministry leadership.
The training is executive-level, yet priced for ministries like ours (early-bird $1,799 for affiliates and just $1,949 for non-affiliates, including lodging). It includes practical, biblically grounded instruction on strategic planning, development, media communication, board governance, team building, and more. Every session is aimed at strengthening the health and effectiveness of our organization as a whole.
Why this matters:
- Our staff will grow in leadership and confidence
- We’ll sharpen our fundraising and communication efforts
- We’ll be better equipped to serve our clients and reach our community
- We’ll build a healthier, more sustainable ministry for the future
This is a one-week investment that brings lasting returns—not just to one team member, but for our whole organization. I respectfully ask that you consider supporting this training opportunity and investing in the future leadership of our ministry.
Early-bird pricing ends June 11, and final registration is June 25. I’d love to discuss who might benefit most from attending this year.
Thank you for your continued support, prayer, and commitment to building a life-affirming legacy together.
In His service,
New Director Track

Far more dynamic and personal than a conference.

Pregnancy Help Institute is intentionally sized for an intimate learning environment. Pregnancy Help Institute provides individual interaction and personal feedback to help you grow in your role and increase your effectiveness.
It’s vital to invest in yourself.
"We must all learn to lead ourselves with excellence before we can lead a team towards excellence. In other words, we believe that excellence achieved individually will spread organizationally." - Built to Lead’s Belief
A burst of training goes a long way.
One week can literally revolutionize your personal leadership as well as grow your knowledge and understanding. Working with trainers and fellow participants over an extended time yields an exponential return on your investment of time.
Relationships you build will be powerful.
There's nothing more powerful than realizing you're not alone, and at Pregnancy Help Institute, you are surrounded by people not only who share your values, but also are close to you on the same journey.

Whether through a one-day, multi-day, or customized Concierge Consultation, we help you move forward with confidence.
At the core of our consulting services, we’re proud to offer Heartbeat foundational training that equips your team for success:
① Governing Essentials - This practical training gives new and experienced Board Members the tools, insight, and confidence to lead effectively. Shining light on core governance responsibilities helps boards at any stage grow and strengthen their roles with the executive director, staff, community, and each other.
Offered as a one-day onsite experience or two engaging virtual sessions, the training is led by a Heartbeat expert and tailored to your organization. Topics include mission and vision alignment, legal and financial duties, planning, policy, evaluation, board development, fundraising, and more. All content is based on Heartbeat’s Governing Essentials Board Manual, ensuring a comprehensive and practical foundation for effective governance.
▶ On-site consultations are available on weekdays and Saturdays, usually beginning at 9 AM and ending by 4 PM. We ask that all Board Members and the Executive Director be present.
▶ Virtual consultations consist of two three-hour sessions held via Zoom, ideally scheduled on consecutive days to maintain continuity. Sessions can be booked on weekdays, weeknights, or Saturdays. Your team may choose to gather in one place or remotely from individual locations to meet with your virtual consultant. To ensure a productive and engaging experience, we ask that all Board Members and the Executive Director attend both sessions, be on camera, and contribute to group discussions.
Unsure if you need this kind of training? Visit our checklist to find out!
**Please note that for both onsite and virtual Governing Essentials consultations, every participant will need their own Governing Essentials manual, which is approximately $35 each for affiliates.
② Strategic Planning - Prepare your organization for the future with a 1½-day consultation that helps answer a powerful question: What should your organization accomplish one to three years from now—and what must happen to make your vision a reality?
Step back, reflect, identify challenges, optimize opportunities, and dream big as a Heartbeat consultant guides your Board and Executive Director in discerning clear, actionable steps for growth and long-term sustainability that will foster missional alignment, strengthen teamwork, and provide a compelling roadmap you can share with your community, partners, and potential donors to help them understand your goals and get excited about supporting your mission!
③ The L.O.V.E. Approach - This one-day, on-site training led by a Heartbeat expert equips staff and volunteers to compassionately engage clients with confidence. Through personal, hands-on instruction, participants learn the core principles of service in a life-affirming organization and have the opportunity to address their own questions and concerns so that they feel more confident going into their initial client interviews, whether on the phone or in the office. This training is based on The L.O.V.E. Approach , the well-loved and proven program developed by Peggy Hartshorn, Ph.D.

Why the LAS designation matters
Heartbeat International has developed a professional designation for those working in Life-Affirming Ministries.

After you fulfill the training requirements, apply to receive and/or maintain your LAS designation by completing and signing the application. Please note that applicants are not automatically assigned training, nor are trainees automatically designated. An application and fee are required.

360 Center Assessment
"Our organization was seen with new eyes and the discoveries were extremely valuable."
This 360º Center Assessment is Heartbeat International’s endeavor to bring a fresh yet seasoned perspective to the efforts of your life-affirming organization. Heartbeat involves several staff members in a penetrating look into the various fundamental, formational, and future-oriented aspects that shape the ministry and its outcomes.
Though this is not an exhaustive review, it is an extensive one that looks in-depth at the core areas:
- Financial
- Services
- Marketing
- Leadership/Organization/Staff
- Fundraising
- Legal
"On a scale of 1-10, the 360 Assessment ranked 10++. The results of this process exceeded way beyond our hopes."
Our team spends many hours, in advance of a two-day on-site visit, reviewing documents, analyzing various points of data, gathering additional information, and preparing specific questions for the on-site evaluation. All of our observations, commendations, and recommendations are compiled into a report presented to the governing leadership (board and ED/CEO).
"The assessment is amazing. You found things that we would have continued to miss."
Perhaps the strongest identifier of a good organization is good leadership. Leaders are learners. Good leaders constantly seek to improve. The 360° Center Assessment is designed with this in mind.
"The Heartbeat representatives had great insights, a world of knowledge and a tender heart in presenting their findings."
The cost for this assessment for Heartbeat affiliates is $1,500 plus the expenses for at least two consultants to come on-site. (For very large multi-site/multi-program organizations, additional consultant(s) may be needed to complete the effort with a two-day visit.) Non-affiliates cost is $1,800, plus expenses.
