Surviving Infant and Pregnancy Loss
Date TBD

You may have waited your whole life for this baby. You have dreamed about it. You have planned it. You have picked out a crib, prepared your family, friends and life for this new arrival—and then, you are left empty-handed.

It is heart breaking to lose a pregnancy. Feelings of grief following the loss of a pregnancy are normal. You are not crazy; you are not the only one who has felt betrayed or angry.

Please join Zoe Lockert, MFTI for a 2 hour workshop to find you are not alone and learn the tools to help you support your time to grieve this loss.

November 1, 2008
Keynote: David Brodzinsky, PhD

In partnership with PACT we will be presenting a workshop regarding prenatal exposure to drugs and/or alcohol which is sometimes common among children who are adopted from within and outside of the United States. This workshop will discuss with the experts about the diverse, often unexpected, range of challenges and rewards inherent in parenting children who are known or suspected to have been exposed to substances /in utero/. The emphasis is on the impact that high-quality parenting and early intervention can have on children at risk.
