an empirical and experiential workshop
Friday & Saturday, April 24 & 25, 2026
10:00 a.m to 5:00 p.m. EST
in partnership with MyBirth Richmond Va
This intensive trianing blends current research on traumatic grief and the nervous system with embodied practice and applied case discussion, equipping participants to meet miscarriage, stillbirth, and neonatal loss with grounded presence, clinical insight, and compassionate care.
For doulas, midwives, labor and delivery nurses, obstetricians, all birth attendants, counselors, social workers, pre & post-natal yoga instructors--anyone involved with the pregnancy year--this training will help you be more prepared to support families through the most painful outcome of pregnancy and birth.
Receive an overview and greater understanding of traumatic grief; what it is, and how birthing mothers, persons, and their partners are impacted in labor, birth, through the postpartum period, and beyond.
This workshop will help prepare you to be supportive of families in crisis, in acute and chronic traumatic grief states as well as how to best support clients in expression and process of grief.
CEUs for clinicians will be available for this training for 11 contact hours. Approved for LPC, LMFT, LCSW, LCP.
