Bereavement Services: Clinically-based Professional Training for Caregivers

In 1981, Bereavement Services developed a comprehensive approach to caring for families whose babies died during pregnancy or shortly after birth. The RTS program (formerly known as Resolve Through Sharing) was unique in healthcare. Today, more than 30,000 healthcare professionals have completed RTS Training. Based on our experience and research, we've found that these skills can be learned. We've developed other courses and a wide range of resources to support continued bereavement care and education throughout the world.
