Events & Trainings for Professionals

Spence-Chapin is a non-profit organization established in the early 1900’s that provides holistic and compassionate counseling and adoption planning services to women and couples facing an unplanned pregnancy or who have recently given birth and are unsure about parenting. We offer cutting-edge continuing education programs and relevant, engaging, web-based, and in-person adoption and child welfare resources for medical professionals, counselors, social service advocates, and community members. Through our diverse and meaningful programming, we hope to equip professionals with the knowledge they need to help provide positive and healthy outcomes for the women and children we serve.
