A Connected Community for Providers Supporting Families Through Pregnancy and Infant Loss
The National Perinatal Loss Collaborative brings together providers across disciplines to build confidence, connection, and more compassionate care—so no family has to navigate loss alone.
“As a member of the Collaborative, it has helped me build connections with local and national colleagues. The resources, wisdom, and validation shared by this community have made a meaningful impact on my work.”
Why this matters
Pregnancy and infant loss are one of the most devastating experiences a family can face. Yet the care families receive is often inconsistent, fragmented, and difficult to access when it is needed most.
Providers want to offer meaningful, compassionate care. The Collaborative ensures they have the training, tools, and support needed.
Together, we are building a more connected, compassionate approach to care—one that supports providers in how they show up for families, and strengthens the systems around them.
“I am new to the Bereavement Coordinator role and joining the Collaborative has helped me to build connections with local and national colleagues. The resources, wisdom, and validation shared by the members of this group have made a big impact on my work.”

What is the Collaborative?
The National Perinatal Loss Collaborative is a partnership between Return to Zero: Hope and Jane’s Room, bringing together national expertise in bereavement support and bridging hospital systems, community-based support, and lived experience.
Through shared learning and connection, we are creating a space where providers can learn, connect, and grow together.
