How to Support Someone Self-Managing Their Abortion: Virtual Training Session with Abortion Care Tennessee

People have been self-managing their abortions throughout all of history. Especially now that abortion care within a traditional medical setting is becoming harder and harder for everyday people to access, people are looking to self-managed abortion (SMA) as a preferred option to end a pregnancy on their own terms. Information about SMA is not new, hidden, or dangerous to access. However, with the rise of misinformation around abortion available online, it can be difficult to know where to look for trusted resources about SMA. In order to take care of our communities and keep our loved ones safe, it's important to know how to support someone choosing to self-manage their abortion. With this training curriculum - developed by our friends over at Self Managed Abortion, Safe and Supported (SASS USA) - you will learn about SMA resources, how to provide support for someone self-managing, and some digital security best practices. This training is *NOT* intended as legal or medical advice.
