The Pregnancy Loss and Infant Death Alliance is proud to announce that with the support of our PLIDA Members and through donations from our Facebook followers, we will be awarding 6 conference scholarships to individuals with knowledge and experience in working with diverse families experiencing loss who would like to attend the 22nd International Perinatal Bereavement Conference (2022 IPBC) in Denver, Colorado, October 12-15, 2022.

These scholarships are intended to encourage participation of individuals with particular knowledge and experience that would otherwise not attend the conference. The scholarships cover the cost of the conference as well as provide a small travel stipend ($100.00 USD).   Scholarship recipients are responsible for any additional expenses, such as travel, accommodations and Preconference fee should they wish to attend. A payment plan to cover the cost of Preconference sessions will be available exclusively for Scholarship recipients.

  • Explore relational aspects of perinatal bereavement care.
  • Describe innovative clinical and advocacy implications in caring for families when their baby dies.
  • Develop skills for working within an interprofessional team when providing care for bereaved families.
  • Describe principles and practice of self-care.

  • Provide opportunities for relationship building among clinicians, researchers, educators, caregivers, and parent advocates
  • Discuss ways of translating research findings into clinical practice.
