This workshop will delve into the factors families contend with when faced with a potential decision to terminate a pregnancy for medical reasons. Legal, sociological, interpersonal, medical, and emotional aspects make this experience unique, and perinatal therapists benefit from a deep understanding of these multi-dimensional and intersecting factors.

Using case examples, and both small and large group discussions, the three instructors, each experts in this particular type of loss, will guide participants as they expand their understanding of the losses and potential for trauma for families on this journey. Treatment approaches and frameworks will also be addressed.

This course is composed of recordings from a workshop held in 2025.
