About this webinar
Perinatal loss providers are routinely exposed to traumatic grief, vicarious trauma, and moral distress, yet the neurobiological impact of this work is often overlooked. In this session, Jill Kottmeier explores how traumatic loss affects the brain and nervous system, impacting long-term professional sustainability. With an emphasis on debriefing, participants will learn practical, evidence-informed strategies to promote integration, collective resilience, and sustainable recovery.
