Perinatal Loss: Clinical and Supportive Care

Postpartum Support International (PSI) is excited to announce the launch of this comprehensive perinatal loss training for birth workers, therapists, nurses, and other psychotherapy and medical providers. This course takes you into the world of perinatal loss, inclusive of miscarriage, stillbirth, complex congenital anomalies, and pregnancy decision making. Participants will explore trauma-informed strategies, clinical techniques, and practical interventions to support bereaved parents, families, and providers impacted by loss.

Dvora Entin and Tonya Lowry are content and clinical experts in the field of perinatal death and infant loss and will discuss interventions across the spectrum of care. With a passion for compassionate bereavement care and support of the grieving, our PSI trainers are renowned for their attention to the complexities of the loss experience on both macro and micro levels as well as the responsibility to de-pathologize and honor the grief process as a life experience. Join them in this collaborative, practical, and research-grounded learning experience.

Due to the highly sensitive nature of the subject matter, and to support interactive discussion and self-reflective practice, attendance will be limited to 100 participants. We kindly ask that you do not bring babies or children to this training.
