Session Description:
Healthcare providers in the Emergency Department will encounter patients in the midst of a reproductive loss. An important aspect of trauma-informed care is consistency in both approach and communication patterns from all caregiver encounters. Effective multidisciplinary team dynamics can improve the necessary emotional support and foster a healing grief trajectory. Everyone on the team must understand and demonstrate what to say or do when a patient is experiencing loss in a manner that is compassionate, collaborative, and effective within each team member’s role.
