Start your journey to improved care and growth in your career by starting Respectful, Equitable Care Certification today! 

Unlike most healthcare programs, the REC Certification incorporates and encourages ongoing self-reflection, an exploration of one's heart, and the teaching of soft skills that will create a respectful, neutral, and compassionate space for all families.

The REC curriculum is strategically designed to enrich the daily work of healthcare professionals, empower them with the confidence to serve all patients, and equip them with tools that reinforce and support the knowledge learned.

Providing respectful,
neutral and compassionate care

Here at the Family to Family Support Network, we empower healthcare professionals to provide respectful, neutral and compassionate patient care to ALL families through training and resources.

 

But why are we so concerned with
Respectful, Equitable Care?

Will the education provided by Family to Family Support Network be impactful for our hospital culture and initiatives? YES!

Read what Nurses from across the country
are saying about the Respectful, Equitable Care Course.

"The Family to Family Respectful, Equitable Care Certification will help take you and your team to the next level in care for your perinatal and neonatal patients and families. The information is invaluable and insightful as you work through the modules. It gives real life examples and provides the answers on how to examine your own feelings and helps to know how to provide equitable care for all patients that may present in the hospital or outpatient settings."

"I have gained knowledge, insight, and tools to confidently lean in with respectful care in adoptions, ambiguous loss, surrogacy, those with substance use disorder, LGBTQIA+, and transgender birthing patients while being mindful of implicit bias and anti-racism. I recommend obtaining this certification to enhance our professional knowledge and advocacy, and promotion of optimal outcomes for birthing patients, families, and newborns."

 
Dr. Debbie Ketchum
DNP, MAOM, RN, NEA-BC, RNC-MNN, C-EFM, REC-C

"I think we need to take a really up close and personal look at our own biases, acknowledge them and recognize how that impacts our practice. It needs to happen frequently after events in our own lives. This isn't a conversation to happen just to check a box or under a time constraint. These conversations happen over time when surrounded by supportive peers."

MSN, RN, NE-BC, C-EFM
Labor and Delivery and OBED Nurse Manager

"I believe the most transformative lesson from the Respectful Care training is the realization that respect is not merely an ethical ideal, but a clinical necessity. Evidence shows that when patients feel respected, heard, and empowered, outcomes improve across all dimensions of maternal health. By centering respect in every aspect of care, we will have stronger patient-provider relationships, greater patient satisfaction, and improved adherence to care plans. I view each patient encounter as an opportunity to promote equity, heal mistrust, and restore dignity within a system that has often failed marginalized populations. The training has encouraged me to approach these situations with flexibility, sensitivity, and a deep respect for each person’s emotional journey."

 
Jennifer Hudson, MSN, FNP-C
