Time is flying by ... don't miss your chance to see PENNY SIMKIN in
her rare May 1st NEW YORK VISIT to speak about one the most
important subjects in the childbirth field…SUPPORTING AND
UNDERSTANDING PREGNANT AND POSTPARTUM SURVIVORS OF SEXUAL
ABUSE.

Did you know...that the estimated number of survivors of childhood
sexual abuse is greater than 25 - 40% of women?

Did you know...that the percentage of these women that will seek
your support as a midwife, doula, childbirth educator, counselor, or
lactation consultant is much, much higher than that?

Did you know...that your role with women in this vulnerable, sacred
place of the childbearing year is pivotal for these survivors?
Don't miss your opportunity to make an impact on the lives of these
very special women…

IF YOU ARE ONLY ABLE TO ATTEND ONE CONFERENCE THIS YEAR, THIS IS THE
ONE THAT WILL MAKE THE GREATEST DIFFERENCE IN HOW YOU SUPPORT,
RELATE WITH AND CHANGE THE LIVES OF THE WOMEN AROUND YOU.
