Abortion 201

These workshops are designed for people who work, volunteer, or advocate in an abortion context. They don’t include an introduction or overview of abortion in Canada and the types of abortion since it’s assumed that participants will already have general knowledge on these topics.

Participants will be guided through an honest exploration of their values and biases when it comes to abortion, and how they may show up in our interactions with others. By bringing the unconscious into awareness without judgment, participants will be supported in identifying personal boundaries and limits.

Together we’ll explore the potential impacts and challenges of abortion support roles, abortion stigma, how to create space for self-support, and the importance of building community with others who are engaged in abortion work and advocacy.
