About Course

The prevalence of those who have experienced infant, pregnancy, and child loss is significantly greater than many people are currently aware of; in the United States, 1 in 4 women will experience miscarriage or stillbirth in their lifetime. After a loss, women’s long-term psychological effects are often misunderstood, and often support is lacking; almost 20% of women who experience miscarriage show trauma, depressive, and/or anxiety-based symptoms. The research literature on bereaved parents indicated that infant, pregnancy, and child loss are traumatic grief. Yet, there are a limited number of providers, researchers, and professionals who specialize in this area.
