For Professionals Working with Pregnant Women and Teens

The Understanding Infant Adoption (UIA) curriculum is based on the belief that in the situation of an unplanned/unintended pregnancy, women should be provided information and counseling in a nondirective, non-coercive manner in order to make an informed decision.

The training was designed for professionals who provide health services to pregnant women and teens in public or private, non-profit health centers.

Choose the format that is right for you:

Classroom training

Participants will have opportunities for self-reflection and open discussion of issues facing women with unplanned pregnancies, as well as the different service providers available in their areas.
