Working Parents' Forum

About

⚠️ CONTENT WARNING: This forum will include discussion of miscarriage, pregnancy loss, baby loss, fertility challenges and returning to work following loss. Please take care of yourself and join only if you feel comfortable doing so.

What would you say if a colleague told you they had lost their baby?

Most of us have never been taught what to say or do in that moment. And when the moment comes, it can feel too late to start learning.

Pregnancy, fertility challenges, pregnancy loss and returning to work can have a profound impact on working parents — yet these experiences can remain difficult to talk about in the workplace. The emotional, physical and professional impact isn't always visible, and colleagues, managers and organisations don't always know how best to respond.

That's why this conversation is for everyone.
