Holding Space for Pregnancy Loss

This six-hour online workshop is designed for anyone who wants to be able to better care for women and families during any kind of pregnancy loss or still birth. These types of loss include, but are not limited to, abortion, ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage, termination for medical reasons and stillbirth.

The course aims to strengthen and develop knowledge and skills and support you to give the best care. It will:

• explore pregnancy loss/perinatal bereavement care through the lens of three deep and intertwined concepts:
  Companioning vs treating
  Strengthening the support network
  The healing power of ritual
• look at how essential postpartum care can be woven into bereavement care following a pregnancy loss
• offer a supportive space to explore your own experiences of grief and loss and how they shape the way you relate to others
• provide you with an opportunity to reflect on how you can integrate this learning into your work or personal life
• we'll also practice connecting more deeply to our breath, which helps us stay centered in tough times, and learn some simple nervous system regulation exercises too.
