Simulated Birth Parent Program

The Simulated Birth Parent Program is a training initiative designed to prepare individuals—often prospective adoptive parents or social work students—to better understand the experience of pregnancy and birth from an empathetic perspective. Participants learn about the physical, emotional, and psychological aspects of pregnancy, often through interactive activities and simulations. The goal is to foster greater empathy and awareness, helping participants support expectant mothers and make informed, compassionate decisions in adoption or related situations. This program enhances understanding without involving actual pregnancy, focusing instead on experiential learning and emotional insight.
