Training Institute

The ABCD Family Planning Training Institute provides professional level training on family planning, reproductive health and sexuality education for healthcare providers, counselors, educators, and other community health workers. We offer a comprehensive calendar of professional training opportunities. Introduction to Family Planning, Basic Family Planning, and Family Planning for Advanced Practice are usually offered three times a year. In addition, trainings on current reproductive health topics are held several times a year. Specialized trainings on family planning and reproductive health topics are available for community and health care agencies by special arrangement with ABCD staff. ABCD also conducts mandatory trainings on current reproductive health topics several times a year. These trainings are required for certified family planning counselors in ABCD family planning funded sites. Thank you for visiting our webpage. We are committed to maintaining our 2020 Training Calendar. For our upcoming Basic Family Planning training beginning on May 5, 2020, we have been diligently working to adapt the curriculum to a virtual platform. Please send your registration. We will confirm your attendance by the posted registration deadline: April 20th, 2020. Stay tuned for some updates to your email inbox and let us know if you have any questions.
