Institute Of Reproductive Grief Care

The Institute of Reproductive Grief Care is the global expert in reproductive grief care. We offer education, research, expertise and support after pregnancy and reproductive loss. The Institute provides education and resources to healthcare professionals including hospitals, medical professionals, therapists, social workers and pregnancy centers, as well as community leaders. We are accredited by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) and by the State of California Board of Registered Nursing (BRN) as a Continuing Education Provider. We are also approved by the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) and the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (CAMFT) to sponsor continuing education for LMFTs, LCSWs, LPCCs, and LEPs. The Institute is at the forefront of creating impartial and impactful research to understand the way individuals process reproductive losses, and to establish global standards for offering compassionate care. We also promote the research of others to better understand grief after reproductive loss and to close practice gaps in medicine. The Institute also offers healing resources directly to those who are impacted, including our “Forget Me Not Signature Collection” of sympathy cards, jewelry and comfort boxes, all featuring the “Forget Me Not” flower as a symbol of remembrance and respect. These are available for sale at the shop on ReproductiveGrief.org. All proceeds go directly to helping those impacted. Our "Forget Me Not" flower campaign, during October's Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month, won 2022 Nonprofit Campaign of the Year, a national award presented by PR Daily. Our national headquarters, located in San Diego, is an active campus where organizations and individuals come together for education, research, and healing of grief after reproductive loss.
