About Abortion Talk Workshops
Are you a team leader in an abortion service who has noticed how stigma affects your team?
Do you want to improve your team’s morale? Or are you a GP or nurse who wants to know more about abortion care? Maybe you’re a community leader who wants to make your group a welcoming space for people to talk about abortions. You could be a healthcare commissioner or policy maker who has noticed stigmatising language when abortion services are talked about at work.
Abortion Talk workshops bring abortion conversations to community and professional settings. Our workshops support and train healthcare professionals, students, abortion advocates, and community groups. Our workshops can transform how people listen, understand, respond, and connect to abortion conversations in their work or day-to-day life and improve healthcare providers confidence and skills. We also offer bespoke modules to meet your needs.
Our workshop prices range from £300 for a 1 hour session to £1500 for a full day.
