On-Site Consultation
Heartbeat consultants provide affordable training seminars for staff, board, and/or volunteers of pregnancy help centers, maternity homes, and others in the “helping field.” For example, we offer training seminars in The Love Approach, the Sexual Integrity™ Program, and Talking About Abortion (whether on your hotline or in your center). We also offer Board Trainings, Strategic Planning Facilitation, and Center Assessments, which were created to provide a comprehensive review of individual center operations, management, and governance. What does your organization need? We probably offer an on-site consultation for it!
For Centers:
Center 360° Assessment™
Gain perspective through Heartbeat’s on-site assessment of your organization as you make decisions to adopt new programs, meet the challenges you face with your Board, or work through changes with volunteers and staff. Center staff work with a Heartbeat consultant to take center functions to a higher level in operations, management, and governance. The two-day Center 360° Assessment reviews center operations, including legal and medical issues with a Heartbeat expert. The program starts with the Heartbeat survey, A Health Assessment for Your Organization and concludes with a detailed, written report summarizing your center’s needs, strengths, and risk management issues along with recommendations.

Strategic Planning
This one and a half day consultation will assist your leadership to look three to five years into the future and answer the question, “What should this organization be accomplishing three to five years from now, and what should the organization look like?” There are great advantages to going through the strategic planning process and writing a Strategic Plan. In organizations, it gives leadership a chance to step back and work “on” the organization, to think about and dream about the future, to look at critical problems and issues the organization is facing, and to build teamwork among Board Members and the Executive Director. Strategic planning includes some of the following: situation analysis, direction setting, refining and adopting the plan, and implementing the plan. Before Heartbeat sends a facilitator, some advanced planning is required of your organization. Contact Heartbeat for more information.
For Boards:
Governing Essentials Consultation
This consultation works with Board Members to shine light on the key areas of Board responsibilities. Board Members discover and evaluate ways to grow in their roles in relationship to the Executive Director, staff, community, and each other through this consultation. New Board Members, seasoned Board Members, and Boards at any stage of development are energized by the Governing Essentials insight, techniques, and tools offered in this consultation. This one-day, on-site consultation with a Heartbeat expert focuses on your center’s realities: vision and mission, legal obligations, planning and implementation, policies and evaluations, Board function and development, finances, development, and much more. It is based on Heartbeat’s Governing Essentials: Your Personal Board Member Manual. Contact Heartbeat for more information.
For Staff and Volunteers:
Trainings qualify toward the Life-Affirming Specialist (LAS) Designation.
The LOVE Approach
This in-depth, one-day, on-site training with a Heartbeat expert gives trainees what they need to know to begin helping in a life-affirming organization. Through personal, direct contact with the Heartbeat trainer, volunteers can explore their special concerns so that they feel more confident going into their initial client interviews whether on the phone or in the office. This training is based on The LOVE Approach, the well-loved and proven program developed by Peggy Hartshorn, Ph.D. Contact Heartbeat for more information.
Talking About Abortion Training
This one-day training was developed from the experiences of several Heartbeat affiliates. The consultant will teach a helpline/phone model for sharing information on abortion that can also be used in an office setting. You will learn how to use the Ten Point Health and Safety Checklist, and the talking points on RU-486 and the “morning after pill.” The training also includes updated information on abortion methods and includes further studies that have examined the physical and emotional effects of abortion on women. Contact the Heartbeat office for more information, date selection, and cost. Contact Heartbeat for more information.
