Question Abortion - Ask WHY?

Given the increased controllers of information, we can never move forward if asking the question "Why?" is impeded or discouraged. In this workshop, participants will learn to identify how intellectual curiosity is being discouraged to the point that even questioning abortion or its alternatives is being labels as fake news and disinformation and will learn what FFL is actively doing to reach the younger generation (HS and College outreach) to question abortion to uncover the Truth.

Raising the Standard

 

The Commitment of Care and Competence serves as the ethical code of practice for pregnancy help organizations. As the moral compass that guides how we conduct ourselves at every level of the organization, how often do we think about what the Commitment of Care and Competence (CCC) means for our daily interactions, or even what it actually says? 

 This course will not only cover what the CCC says and what it means, but will go through how it is meant to influence the work being done daily in your Pregnancy Help Organization. This course is approximately one (1) hour and includes a quiz. Both the training and quiz must be completed to earn a completion certificate.

Because Heartbeat views this information as vital for all Pregnancy Help staff, this course is complimentary for Heartbeat Affiliates.

Reaching the Church, One Pastor at a Time

We would never guilt, coerce or cajole our clients into choosing life. Why do we continue to guilt & cajole our pastors into speaking about life. It's time to serve our pastors with the same care and intentionality that we do our clients. They need us and the expertise we bring to the church. Many of them just don't know it yet. Together we can change that reality and bring pastor and pregnancy center leader together to see the Sanctity of Life lifted up in every church.
