Do you wish you knew more about how to help families who experience baby loss in the ED, hospital and beyond (miscarriage, stillbirth, NICU, or compromised pregnancy?) Want to enhance your care of all who have losses?
Some Topics to be included:
¨ Describe the Five Perinatal Loss Principles for Patient-Centered Care
¨ List methods to slow down the “rushed” process when the loss occurs and when caring for the patient and family
¨ Describe how to meet the needs and feelings of families who have a baby or older child die and how to speak with them in wise and caring ways
¨ Strategize and list specific ways that communication and continuity of care can enhance the families’ experience throughout the entire system/journey
¨ Distinguish and explain the difference between caring strategies of protector and empowering care, rescuer vs helper, and the realistic role of the care provider
¨ Identify how to show respect for the parents and their parenting roles
¨ Explore ways to enhance the chaplain’s role and how to offer comfort
¨ List 3-5 newer ideas for making memories, creating mementos and ceremonies (including faith ceremonies) that can be offered to families and explain why they are vital to long-term healing
¨ List topics to be shared with parents that are examples of fully informing families and explain why sharing the ‘why’ behind decision-making is an effective strategy
Call Sherokee if you have questions. Your help recruiting students is greatly appreciated. A free baby loss related booklet for each person you bring in.

“I see now what a better job we can do for our parents. Slowing things down, informing them more fully, and treating them as the parents where they do the parenting tasks, not nurses, makes so much sense.” Jo RN
