About the Course

How do we actually show up for someone navigating an abortion experience? This practical workshop introduces core support skills—including active listening, validation, compassion, thoughtful questions, grounding techniques, and referrals—and gives participants a framework for responding to common emotional support needs without judgment or assumptions. It includes activities based on real textline conversations to help you practice these new skills. This is part three of Abortion Support 101: Welcoming Every Experience, a three-part foundational course for anyone seeking to better understand and support people through abortion experiences.
