Join us for the last in this series of 'We need to talk about the M Word', as we discuss Miscarriage.
It is estimated that 1 in 5 pregnancies end in miscarriage according to the charity Tommy’s yet it remains a subject shrouded in silence and misunderstanding. It can be an incredibly difficult and isolating experience, especially for those balancing work and personal grief. 
 
What to expect: 
In this webinar, we’ll discuss the emotional, physical and mental impact that miscarriage can have on women, parents and the workplace. 
This event will feature a panel of experts who will share their knowledge and experience, providing resources and support. Learn how friends, colleagues and workplaces can offer meaningful support. Let’s break the silence and create a more understanding, compassionate work environment.
 
Who is this event for:
Everyone. This event is for all Corporate, Individual, or Young Women's Network members. We would also like to non-members to attend, both men and women to learn more about the resources and support available.
