Our training for those who work or volunteer in community settings is designed for anyone working with those who have experienced pregnancy or baby loss, whether at the time of loss or in the weeks, months and years that follow.
Training is available as a full-day workshop, a half-day workshop or as a live 2-hour webinar. Training is tailored to suit the needs of your organisation and can be delivered at a venue of your choice or online.
The training outlines below are designed as a suggestion of the programmes we can deliver. However, every organisation and every team is different so if you’d like us to design something that meets your requirements we are very happy to collaborate with you.
As a charity we charge training fees to cover our costs, however, enabling high-quality care is our aim so if
budget is an issue for you please let us know.
