Supporting Families Through Perinatal Loss: Practical Guidance for Community Providers

With Christina Winterbourne, CD, PMH-C

About this webinar

Perinatal loss often leaves families needing continued support in the weeks and months that follow. Community-based providers, including doulas, therapists, social workers, home visitors, and lactation professionals, are often the ones supporting families during this time. This webinar offers practical guidance for out-of-hospital providers caring for individuals and families experiencing miscarriage, stillbirth, termination for medical reasons, or infant death. Participants will explore trauma-informed language, scope of practice considerations, lactation after loss, referral pathways, and strategies for sustaining compassionate, coordinated support in community settings.
