Supporting Baby Loss and Miscarriage
Online Course. *Open for enrolment now!*
A better way to support parents traumatised by loss and make a real difference
1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage and 14 babies die every day before, during or in the weeks after birth.
The death of a baby or pregnancy is often traumatic for parents yet there is little acknowledgement of this additional challenge to the grieving process.
Watch here: Alexandra Heath, Clinical Hypnotherapist, Author and Head of TBR College talks you through the course, what you will learn and the importance of making this knowledge and these skills readily available.
Why are these essential skills for all perinatal professionals?
The numbers surrounding baby loss and miscarriage
- Baby loss and miscarriage are unfortunately common perinatal traumas.
- One in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage and 14 babies die every day before, during or in the weeks after birth.
- Perinatal grief and trauma can heavily impact on parents mental and emotional health and without proper support their ability to cope too.
- Whilst grief is a natural expression after this kind of devastating loss the trauma experienced can be more lasting and can make grief complicated long term.
- Those experiencing early or recurrent miscarriage are usually not offered any professional, emotional support.
- For those experiencing baby loss, although there are good peer support groups established through charities like SANDS there is no consistent, nationwide availability of specialist, perinatal grief and trauma therapy.
This is the right course for you if:
- You already support parents who are grieving the death of their baby.
- You support parents during their Rainbow pregnancies who are fraught with anxiety, panic and trauma symptoms?
- You support parents who have experienced recurrent miscarriages as part of their fertility journey?
- You worry about their emotional health and wellbeing?
- You feel frustrated that they are very few dedicated, specialist services for grieving parents?
- You have noticed the high levels of anxiety and trauma symptoms in parents who are impacted by loss and want to be part of the solution?

TBR College mission statement
Our intention is to support the emotional and mental heath of parents by offering appropriate, perinatally focused, trauma informed training to the professionals supporting them.
Recently, because of the pandemic, parents have been unable to have the support of their partners at birth or when receiving bad news. Many new parents have felt isolated, alone and unable to cope without access to support. For some this has had a devastating impact on their mental health.
The work we do and the training we at TBR College offer is with the aim of making appropriate, specialised, safe and effective support accessible for all parents. We have all seen the transformative difference it can make to the 100s of parents that I have supported over the last 12 years and now I want you to experience this too.
