Honoring Pregnancy & Infant Loss #045

As the month of October raises awareness for Pregnancy and Infant Loss we want to honor parents who suffer loss and recognize the ways we can best show up to support them.
Lola Brognano, MSW, LCSW-QS, PMH-C joins us to shed light on best practices for holding space for parents during perinatal loss, in the hospital, in the early postpartum period, and as they continue building their family.

~the purpose of support groups

~learning to live with loss when experiencing future pregnancies

~navigating cultural mismatch in grief practices
