Pregnancy and Infant Loss (PAIL) Network

Virtual Compassionate Care Workshop

Join us for a FREE one day virtual workshop focused around providing compassionate care to bereaved families who experience the loss of a pregnancy or death of their infant.

This educational session covers many topics, including; attachment, grief, memory making, cultural safety, what to say/what not to say, pregnancy after loss, caring for the caregiver, and family-centered care. We also invite a panel of family members to answer questions about their lived experience with loss and what it means to receive compassionate care.

Participants leave with a list of supports and resources, as well as practical skills, tools, and techniques to provide skilled and compassionate care to grieving parents and families.
