In-Person Event

For the first time, we are delighted to be able to offer a comprehensive, interactive half-day workshop that provides participants with the opportunity to deepen their understanding of pregnancy loss. The workshop includes facilitator-led training, case study discussions, and both individual and group activities conducted in a supportive environment.

The course content is based on the latest academic research, yet it is presented in a practical and accessible way.

This certified half-day training is suitable for everyone, including managers, HR professionals, colleagues, and mental health first aiders/champions.

Participants will be able to:
- Enhance their understanding of pregnancy loss, including its various types, prevalence, causes, risk factors, treatments, and the physical and psychological effects.
- Gain clarity on the rights and entitlements of affected employees in the workplace. - Engage in communication training to learn appropriate and inappropriate responses to disclosures of pregnancy loss.
- Recognise and address pro-natal practices that may unintentionally trigger those affected by pregnancy loss.
- Explore available support options for colleagues who are experiencing pregnancy loss.

NOTE: We kindly remind attendees to be considerate that some individuals in the group may have personal experience with pregnancy loss. Participants will not be asked to share their own experiences.
