Groundbreaking Research by the Institute
In 2021, the Institute of Reproductive Grief Care began our first steps towards creating and researching a new tool to help healthcare professionals quickly identify patients with possible mental health symptoms post-pregnancy loss.
Understanding the Institute of Reproductive Grief Care®
One in four U.S. pregnancies end in miscarriage – and this is just one kind of pregnancy and reproductive loss. Busy hospital Emergency Departments are reporting an average of 5 pregnancy losses each day. 2.4 million fetal and neonatal deaths occur in the perinatal period in the U.S. – 4 times more than the annual number of deaths from cancer! These numbers don’t include infertility, which carries its own repeated, emotional pain.
At the Institute of Reproductive Grief Care, we educate frontline medical teams to reduce emotional trauma and set patients on a healthy healing trajectory, bringing comfort and hope during a time of great loss. We also offer healing resources directly to those touched by reproductive loss and conduct and promote research to help those who grieve.
