Dear Friends,

If you or anyone you are acquainted with is a licensed counselor or social worker, we invite you to attend a complimentary course on reproductive loss hosted by Life Perspectives and sponsored by the Respect Life Office.

The courses meet the qualifications for up to 6 hours of continuing education credits for MFTs, LPCCs, LEPs, and LCSWs as required by the National Association of Social Workers. 

With the prevalence of reproductive loss in the US, clinicians have a great opportunity to explore this loss upon intake and journey alongside individuals in their healing after miscarriage or abortion. Understanding grief and trauma are essential components in breaking the silence and making the "invisible loss" visible, as well as building a strong therapeutic alliance with clients.

 For more information see the flyer below:
