Professional Education

Infant Loss Resources is a trusted resource for healthcare professionals, first responders, childcare providers, parent educators, and others who support families following the sudden and tragic loss of an infant. We recognize the vital role these professionals play during an incredibly difficult time and are committed to equipping them with the knowledge and tools they need.

Our ongoing educational programs are offered across Missouri and in neighboring counties in Illinois and Kansas. These trainings help ensure that public health, medical, and social service professionals can provide consistent, compassionate, and evidence-based support to grieving families.

We also provide specialized education to nurses, physicians, childcare providers, and health educators on the latest research and recommendations for improving infant health and reducing the risk of sleep-related deaths, including up-to-date training on safe sleep practices.
