Post-Abortion Leadership Training - Hope For The Heart, Dallas

I spent most of last week in Dallas, Texas attending Hope for the Heart's post-abortion facilitators training. My main purpose in attending this training was to verify that it was indeed a solid training to which I could refer others. While the training was very long (three and a half days) it was easily the most comprehensive one I have attended. Not only did the instructor, Kim Olson, cover most of the material in the manual, but she also guided our group through several activities that helped both to solidify the information in our minds, and to give us hands-on practical application experience.

As an instructor, Kim brings with her thirteen years of abortion recovery experience, having led a number of thirteen week groups as well as weekend recovery retreats. I have to admit I was skeptical at first about the weekend retreat model, but hearing how she and her team carry out these retreats I believe it can be a viable method given the strict guidellines they follow.

I highly recommend the Hope for the Heart training for anyone that has received a calling to lead others in abortion recovery. This training is well organized, comprehensive, and is based on very reliable information, including some of the legal considerations when working in any peer counseling situation. This team teaches from a wealth of experience as well as a deep concern for those wounded by abortion. If you feel that God is calling you in this area I urge you to contact Hope for the Heart's abortion recovery team (Kim, Char, and Maggie). No matter how many trainings you've been to in the past, I don't believe we can ever have too much training. And this one is not to be missed.
