Competent and Compassionate Care in Pregnancy and Infant Loss
Pregnancy and infant loss, including miscarriage, stillbirth, and neonatal death, affects patients across every specialty and practice setting. Yet many clinicians receive limited formal training in how to navigate the clinical complexities and profound emotional impact of these experiences. This session integrates current clinical guidance with lived experience to provide practical, evidence-informed approaches to caring for patients and families facing perinatal loss. Participants will explore communication strategies, trauma-informed principles, bereavement support considerations, and systems-level practices that promote compassionate, equitable care. The goal is to equip all clinicians in primary care and women’s health with the tools and confidence to respond with both clinical competence and deep humanity during some of the most difficult moments in patient care.

When Every Word Matters: Language, Story and Healing in NICU Bereavement Care
Family-centered care in the NICU goes beyond the physical. Providers communicate with family members multiple times each day, and the words they use during these updates and conversations have a large impact on the family's experience, wellness, and post-NICU healing. This webinar will address the ways that the words providers use are important, and will provide guidance on how those caring for NICU families can provide the most supportive language possible. Additionally, it will explore the ways a family's story about their time in the NICU is a powerful tool. Presented by two perinatal mental health therapists and a NICU nurse, doula, and educator, this session will provide a comprehensive perspective of ways to engage with families.

Navigating Therapeutic Clinical Choice Points for Bereaved Parents
Working with parents after the death of a baby can present clinicians with some of the most delicate and high-stakes moments in therapy. In these encounters, small clinical decisions often become meaningful therapeutic choice points that can either deepen safety and connection or unintentionally shut down grief. This one-hour learning module explores the nuanced moments that arise when supporting bereaved parents after miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss. Participants will examine common clinical crossroads such as when to prioritize emotion versus information, how to respond when grief expressions differ between partners or family members, and how to balance validation with gentle therapeutic direction. The module emphasizes practical, moment-to-moment interventions that help clinicians remain present with profound grief while maintaining therapeutic structure.
