Overview
Give real support to bereaved parents after pregnancy or neonatal loss
Pregnancy loss and neonatal death are always devastating. When they occur in a multiple pregnancy, parents can be especially overwhelmed by the complex cluster of feelings that is evoked.
This two-week course by The Butterfly Project will provide in-depth guidance into what parents are going through, how to provide bereavement support, and how to celebrate each life in a multiple pregnancy.
Gain insight into experiences following multiple pregnancy loss
On this course, you’ll get to explore the unique parental experiences of reproductive loss in a multiple pregnancy and the key challenges that arise in hospital wards and after discharge. The importance of peer-led discussion and insight sharing is stressed at all times.
Unpack bereavement support fundamentals for every stage
The high-quality learning materials and guidelines in this course were developed in partnership with parents, so you can trust their effectiveness.
From dealing with the immediate aftermath of the loss to encouraging parents to create memories of the life they’re mourning, you’ll feel more confident in every clinical setting.
