Pregnancy Loss Support Services

Start Healing Together knows that returning to work after a loss can be terrifying and leave you feeling lonely.

We are here to ensure that your rights are upheld and that you get the support you need. No one should be rushed back to work without the proper time to grieve. Our main goal is to ensure that your focus is always on taking care of yourself. We can help you in the following ways:

  • Negotiate leave options for work (paid and/or unpaid)

  • Negotiate bereavement leave language for contracts

  • Assist you and/or your employer with how to break the news to staff

  • If you work in a school, we can provide a toolkit to your employer on how to break the news to students in age-appropriate manner

  • Ensure LGBTQ+ rights are upheld

  • Work directly with your employer, supervisor, union representative, coworkers, and any additional support persons

  • Recommend support services within our broad network: therapists, doulas, support groups, nonprofits, and organizations based on your particular loss, and more.

  • Create an individualized return-to-work plan catered to your individual needs and concerns

  • Provide educational training to your workplace that will focus on pregnancy loss, infertility, adoption loss, grief, and providing support in the workplace
