Supporting Families through Pregnancy and Infant Loss

June 3, 2025 | 12:00 p.m. EST

Presenter:

Carol McMurrich, Director, Empty Arms Bereavement Support

 

Description: Pregnancy and infant loss, though it impacts as many as one-quarter of all pregnancies, is scarcely mentioned in reproductive conversations. Its elusive nature combined with a societal discomfort with grief as a process makes the experience extremely difficult for those going through it. Professionals themselves are often unsure how to support these families. This workshop will offer a brief overview of the typical experience and presentation of bereaved parents and offer some precise tools for how to support them.

Moving Beyond Performance: Assessing your Organizational Landscape in Anti-Racist Work

July 9th, 2025 | 1:00 p.m. EST

Presenter:

Jenise Katalina, MSW, LICSW, Women of Color Health Collective

 

 

Description: This session will guide individuals in moving their organizations toward being anti-racist and anti-oppressive beyond just initial reaction training. In racial equity, the term "organizational landscape" encompasses an organization's structure, culture, policies, and practices related to racial equity, including both visible aspects like representation and intangible elements like power dynamics. Understanding this landscape is crucial for addressing systemic racial disparities and fostering inclusivity where all members can thrive. Using a multi-dimensional framework, this session aims to help organizations assess their current state and set goals for impactful, sustainable change in diversity, equity, and inclusion work.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: This session is designed to help participants:
1. Gain an understanding of the concept of Institutional Accountability through a Cultural Humility lens
2. Gain an understanding of the seven dimensions essential to an organizational landscape assessment and their application within an organization.
3. Identify key components of data collection and their importance in the assessment process.
4. Recognize the importance of an organizational landscape assessment to sustain racial equity and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) work within an organization.
