The goal of the Planned Parenthood of Maryland Training Institute is to provide the highest quality reproductive health and sexuality training for professionals throughout the state of Maryland.
Information is crucial for making healthy, responsible decisions. It is essential that professionals have the most updated information and effective strategies to reach the people they serve whether they are patients, clients, program participants, families, or professionals.
Our trainings are designed for teachers, social workers, case managers, counselors, nurses, community organizations, and youth-serving and health professionals.
ALL PPM TRAININGS ARE HELD AT OUR BALTIMORE CITY ADMINISTRATIVE HEADQUARTERS AT 330 NORTH HOWARD STREET UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED.

Planned Parenthood will ensure that sexuality is understood as an essential, lifelong aspect of being human and that it is celebrated with respect, openness and mutuality.
