Loss Literacy: Equipping Leaders to Navigate Pregnancy Loss with Compassion & Confidence
The stigma of pregnancy loss has lived in the shadows for far too long.
It’s time to bring grief out of the darkness and into a space of support, dignity, and understanding.
If 1 in 4 pregnancies ends in loss, then how we, as a community, respond in these moments matters deeply. Yet, many of us hesitate—not because we don’t care, but because we don’t know how to help.
Loss Literacy is your opportunity to change that.
This event is designed to equip community leaders, healthcare professionals, birth workers, and wellness practitioners with the skills, tools, and language needed to provide meaningful support to grieving families.
What You’ll Gain:
Expert-Guided Training – Learn from professionals specializing in trauma-informed care, grief support, and somatic healing.
Tangible Tools – Walk away with practical, real-world strategies for supporting families through pregnancy loss.
Appropriate Language – Understand the words that bring comfort and the ones that cause unintended harm.
Somatic Practices – Gain insight into how the body holds grief and how to provide compassionate, body-aware support.
Community & Connection – Engage with like-minded leaders committed to reshaping the way we show up for families in crisis.
This is your call to rise up.
No more silence. No more hesitation. It’s time to provide the care and dignity you’ve always wanted to—but never knew how, until now.
Join us for Loss Literacy and be part of the movement to bring healing, awareness, and advocacy to pregnancy loss support.
