What will they talk about: Supporting Staff Through One Of The Most Misunderstood Events of Their Lives
More details: Miscarriage and still birth are subjects that rarely get talked about. When a member of staff is experiencing it, the reaction from many around them may not be the most supportive. It's not heartlessness; it's misunderstanding. Without the right perspective you can't hope to show empathy or give the right help.
Please note this story talks about understanding and supporting people that have experienced miscarriage and still birth.
