Pregnancy Loss and Infant Death Alliance (PLIDA)

__________________________________________________________

PLIDA was formally organized in September 2002 by a diverse group of pioneering and nationally recognized professionals who are dedicated to providing support to parents grieving the death of their baby or babies during pregnancy, delivery, or infancy.  Share's Executive Director, Cathi Lammert, was a founding member of PLIDA, and is currently serving as past president.  Membership to PLIDA is open to all parents and professionals who align themselves with PLIDA's mission.  For more information, visit www.plida.org.

PLIDA strives to create Position Statements that promote the highest
standard of supportive care for bereaved parents. PLIDA Position Statements advocate for parents' emotional needs and the provision of compassionate, relationship-based care. Anyone can use them to increase awareness, educate people, inform policy, sustain supportive programs, or encourage change. Most of all, for those of you who provide care to bereaved parents, we hope that these documents will support you as you work with and advocate for parents.
