We want to extend our support to women and men who are struggling after pregnancy loss (miscarriage, post-abortion and stillbirth) to include those with more complex needs by continuing to have a professional counsellor available to manage the listening service.

Beneficiaries
Situation
We are finding that increasingly clients are coming to us with complex needs as well as the pregnancy loss, which has led them to contact us. Our listeners, most of whom are volunteers, are not general counsellors but are trained (120 hours) specifically to deliver a 10 step pregnancy loss course. Clients with complex needs (e.g. suicide ideation, bipolar, peronality disorder) have to be referred to other support, which will not necessarily have particular expertise about pregnancy loss.
Solution
Employ a qualified counsellor to run our listening service, who is able to deal with clients with complex needs. They will also be able to ensure that the training and support given to our listeners is in line with current standards for counsellors.
