The Institute of Reproductive Grief Care's mission is to educate frontline medical teams to reduce emotional trauma and set patients on a healthy healing trajectory when they need it most. The Institute is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
At the Institute, we know that one person has the power to impact hundreds. By simply bringing the conversation to the forefront, people report feeling seen, heard, supported, and empowered to process their experience. Research shows that this improves emotional stability, daily engagement, and engenders stronger relationships.
In addition to our education, we also conduct and support research. Through the development of our evidence-based Reproductive Grief Screening Tool, RGCare5 and ongoing studies, we aim to reshape how healthcare professionals identify and support individuals experiencing reproductive grief.
