It is highly likely that some young people you work with will have been affected by abortion or will be in the future. This course will leave you with the knowledge, confidence and skills to have honest conversations about abortion with young people. It will help you to understand the realities, separate facts from myths and challenge stigma.
This online course was developed as part of a joint project with the Open University and the videos that feature in this online course were developed as part of the My Body, My Life project which was based on Open University (OU) research into women’s experiences of abortion.
This course also draws from materials developed as part of the Education for Choice project.
