Reproductive Planning and Social Justice

Reproductive Planning and Social Justice

Reproductive health is rarely shaped by a single decision or circumstance. Trauma, mental health, relationships, poverty, culture, stigma, substance use, healthcare access, and larger social systems can all influence an individual's experience.
The goal is not simply to understand reproductive health. It is to help professionals recognize how the person, environment, and system intersect, and translate that understanding into more thoughtful, responsive practice.

Course Description

Through evidence-informed content and practice-focused scenarios, learners examine unintended pregnancy, reproductive health disparities, perinatal loss and grief, psychosocial and economic impacts, ethical considerations, and barriers experienced by vulnerable populations. The course explores principles including autonomy, informed consent, confidentiality, trauma-informed practice, cultural responsiveness, integrated care, and interdisciplinary support

Learning Objectives

  • Identify psychosocial, cultural, economic, and systemic factors associated with unintended pregnancy among vulnerable populations.
  • Explain behavioral health effects associated with unintended pregnancy and perinatal loss, including grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, and family-system stress.
  • Apply ethical, trauma-informed, culturally responsive principles when supporting clients affected by unintended pregnancy or perinatal loss.
  • Identify counseling, referral, and interdisciplinary strategies that support client autonomy, psychological well-being, and continuity of care.
