Have you ever felt uncomfortable caring for bereaved families?

Some days do you think your care for these families could be improved?

Would you like to feel more confident supporting families through pregnancy loss and perinatal death?

This presentation provides an overview into bereavement support in maternity. We cover the latest statistics, research and challenges maternity providers and bereaved families face in this space. We also share the story of our daughter Isla and learnings from our experience. Some insights into communication skills, cultural considerations, pregnancy after loss and staff self-care strategies are also covered and resources available explained.

The format of this overview session speaks to all who may care for bereaved families after pregnancy loss at any stage as well as after stillbirth and neonatal death.
