2025 Virtual Annual Bereavement Training Event

Perinatal Death and Bereavement Care: Compassion-Centered Psychosocial Support with Dr. Joanne Cacciatore, PhD

Join us for the 2025 Annual Bereavement Training Event, designed for labor & delivery nurses and obstetric healthcare professionals.

This training event will explore the latest in compassion-centered psychosocial care, equipping you with tools to make a meaningful difference for grieving families and your unit.

Last year’s event was a huge success, with over 500 labor & delivery nurses registered. According to our post-event survey, 97% of attendees found the training very helpful and directly applicable to their work in L&D. We’re excited to build on that momentum this year with new evidence-based strategies and valuable resources for your unit.

Note: This event will not be recorded. In order to be eligible for giveaways, you must attend the event.
