Helpers with
Heavy Hearts

This workshop provides thoughtful considerations from a Biblical perspective for all helpers working with those who have clients experiencing fetal demise including abortion, miscarriage and stillbirth. Medical personnel offering ultrasounds or Abortion Pill Reversal are especially susceptible to distressing grief, shocking visuals, and exhaustion due to the extensive nature of care. Our hope is to encourage those experiencing burnout or compassion fatigue to contemplate Biblical perspectives on what scripture reveals about God's care for the helper.
