For practitioners interested in supporting perinatal grief processes, it is essential to be familiar with the effects of postpartum and comfortable with the educational aspect. Each session of the six-session series highlights a specific aspect of perinatal loss that affects the individual grief experience. By equipping themselves with this information, practitioners can spare a client the need to educate them on common systemic and logistical realities that accompany these highly sensitive losses.
