Mental Health & Termination for Medical Reasons

If you are a mental health professional working with the perinatal population, you may find yourself supporting a parent who has ended a wanted pregnancy for their own health and/or the health of their baby/ies, also known as termination for medical reasons (TFMR). Much the same way these loss parents face unique barriers and challenges throughout their experiences, so too do the mental health providers who may support them. This webinar is for you if you are a licensed mental health professional (social work, counseling, psychology, etc) who wants to provide the best possible care to your TFMR clients while also reducing risk (for them and you), documenting thoughtfully, and staying informed from reliable sources.
