Here at Faith Aloud, we know that pregnancy experiences and spiritual/religious themes can be deeply personal and complex. We know that pregnant people face difficulty finding judgment-free spiritual support and resources for abortion and pregnancy decisions. Instead of getting the compassionate and comprehensive services they want and deserve, many pregnant people encounter barriers to care, widespread misinformation, and increased stigma.
We know that offering radical compassion, deep listening, and judgment-free spiritual support is more important than ever. Our toll-free, Faith Aloud Spiritual Care Line is here to support people in all of their reproductive experiences, including pregnancy, parenting, abortion, adoption, miscarriage, infertility, and more. Our dedicated Spiritual Care Counselors join callers in their process — free from judgment, full of support, and with understanding for the spiritual themes and conflicts that arise before, during, and even long after making pregnancy decisions.
Our Spiritual Care Counselor training delves into Faith Aloud’s unique approach to supporting people in ALL of their pregnancy and parenting experiences. Our training includes virtual classes and self-study.
Commitment: Once trained, advocates are asked to commit to 2 shifts (3-4 hours each) and to attend 1 virtual meeting per quarter for at least 1 year.
Faith Aloud Spiritual Care Counselors come from a diverse background of experiences, from lay ministers and current seminary students, to active and retired ministers and chaplains. We are looking for individuals who are passionate about reproductive justice and spiritual care! Faith Aloud is seeking to build a volunteer team that reflects the diversity of our callers and communities. As such, we are specifically prioritizing prospective volunteers who are people of color, trans and gender expansive, bilingual English/Spanish language speakers, people with disabilities, people with pregnancy, parenting, abortion, and adoption experiences.
