Holding Space for Pregnancy Loss Training: Advanced Training
Pregnancy related trauma and/or Infant Loss disproportionately impacts the lives of non-white people. In particular, Black, Indigenous and Latinx birth givers are the most vulnerable to the effects of systemic racism, implicit bias, and the entrenched legacy of white supremacy. The experiences of trauma and loss for birthing people of color are vast, yet these stories remain in the margins in our society.
What can birth workers, mental health practitioners, bereaved parents, and activists do to better understand and respond to the pain of pregnancy/infant loss compounded by the pain of racism?
This advanced 8-hour training co-taught by Amy Wright Glenn and Naima Beckles ~ presented live and recorded ~ is designed to support you in your journey of better understanding the intersection of pregnancy and/or infant loss and race.
End of 2020 special ~ All are welcome to register for $100 up until midnight, December 31st.

Description
As children are returning to school or learning from home, millions are grieving the loss of social interaction, group play, and certainty. On the other hand, less demanding schedules are causing other children to thrive. But almost all children are facing additional stressors in the house as the pandemic continues to impact parents and life as we know it. In March 2020, the World Economic Forum interviewed renowned child psychologist Laura Markham, PhD to offer advice to parents at the beginning of the Covid pandemic. Six months later, the pandemic continues. What advice reflects best practices now?
As parents and caregivers, how do we understand and support the emotional needs of our children during this complex time?
