Gladney understands that it can be difficult to discuss the adoption option, or provide care to a client or patient who is facing an unplanned pregnancy. That is why Gladney is proud to offer medical professionals education about the option of adoption.

Gladney offers Continuing Education Credits to Social Work and Nursing Staff in clinical settings. Our adoption education training is designed to empower professionals and help them feel confident when working with a patient who is considering or planning adoption.

Gladney believes that a patient’s time and care in the hospital is a critical factor in her physical and emotional healing. Professionals who are equipped with the right information can be great advocates for their clients and patients. This advocacy is empowering to the patient and can transform a difficult situation into a healthy and caring environment that provides lifelong peace.
