Grieving Well
To better assist our clients and patients and to protect against vicarious trauma, it is helpful to gain a deeper understanding of our own grief history. This course offers self-guided reflections and exercises that will broaden our appreciation of the uniqueness of our own and other’s grief journey. Obstacles to grieving, grieving styles, practical ways to memorialize loss, and the ability to grow through loss are also covered as we explore how to grieve well.

Individual Certificate: Reproductive Grief Care
Reproductive Grief Care Certificate for Individuals is for those committed to offering the highest standard of compassionate care to those impacted by reproductive loss. A certificate is awarded to those who complete the Institute of Reproductive Grief Care specialized track of 8 online courses. After completion of these courses, individuals will have a foundational proficiency in reproductive grief care, be able to serve as an example of compassionate care, and be a resource for those in their community who have been touched by reproductive loss.

Invigorating Compassion
Compassion fatigue and burnout often deprive healthcare providers of altruistic motivations and attributes that initially attracted them to caregiving. Aside from the recommendations for a healthier lifestyle, little has been offered to assist those in caring occupations to nurture their empathetic resiliency and enduring passion for helping others in need. This course helps care providers reclaim their compassionate zeal by uncovering factors that can derail empathetic caregiving; it also provides practical applications that are beneficial both personally and professionally.

Reproductive Grief Care for Health Professionals
Reproductive loss, including miscarriage, abortion, stillbirth, and infertility, can be devastating, and healthcare professionals are often at the front lines of responding to those experiencing reproductive grief. Reproductive Grief Care for Healthcare Professionals is an introduction to standards of grief care for physicians, nurses, and other medical providers. This course equips learners to recognize the impact of reproductive loss, respond effectively both individually and organizationally, and help patients begin to cope with their loss experiences. Participants will learn a variety of effective communication strategies, cultural and spiritual competency skills, and options for memorialization to positively impact the grief trajectory for the bereaved.
