| Form 990, Part III, Line 4A | EACH YEAR, APPROXIMATELY 2.4 MILLION REPRODUCTIVE LOSSES MISCARRIAGE, ABORTION, STILLBIRTH, AND EARLY INFANT DEATH OCCUR IN THE U.S., LEADING TO A SIGNIFICANT EMOTIONAL TOLL ON PARTNERS, FAMILIES, AND CAREGIVERS. STUDIES SHOW UP TO 60 OF BEREAVED PARENTS EXPERIENCE SYMPTOMS OF DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, AND PTSD WITHIN TWO YEARS, AN ALARMING INCIDENCE THAT DEMANDS ATTENTION. MOREOVER, RESEARCH IN THE STATES OF CALIFORNIA AND COLORADO LINKS MATERNAL SUICIDE WITH REPRODUCTIVE LOSS, UNDERLINING THE URGENCY FOR PROPER TRAINING AND ASSISTANCE. DESPITE THIS, THERES A NOTABLE ABSENCE OF REPRODUCTIVE GRIEF CARE EDUCATION. LIFE PERSPECTIVES, DOING BUSINESS AS INSTITUTE OF REPRODUCTIVE GRIEF CARE, PROVIDES EVIDENCE-BASED TRAUMA-INFORMED EDUCATION TO HOSPITAL SYSTEMS, SOCIAL SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS, AND INDIVIDUAL MEDICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS. IN 2023, EDUCATIONAL COURSES WERE UPDATED AND RE-RECORDED AND OUR ACCREDITATION WITH ANCC AMERICAN NURSES CREDENTIALING CENTER WAS RENEWED. OUR INAUGURAL SYMPOSIUM ATTRACTED 200 DOCTORS, NURSES, THERAPISTS, SOCIAL WORKERS, AND COMMUNITY LEADERS FROM 30 STATES AND 5 COUNTRIES. ADDITIONALLY, 7,796 PROFESSIONALS RECEIVED IN-PERSON, LIVE WEBINAR AND/OR ON-DEMAND EDUCATION. SINCE EACH PROFESSIONAL IS ESTIMATED TO INFLUENCE AT LEAST TEN PEOPLE EACH YEAR, CLOSE TO 78,000 INDIVIDUALS AND THEIR FAMILIES RECEIVED CARE HELPING THEM TO SET A HEALTHY GRIEVING TRAJECTORY. FINALLY, PROOF OF CONCEPT TO EFFECTIVELY DELIVER MULTIDISCIPLINARY CARE TO PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES IN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT WAS SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED IN COLLABORATION WITH TWO HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS. 58 OF REPRODUCTIVE GRIEF CARE EDUCATION IS FUNDED BY FOUNDATIONS, 38.5 IS SUPPORTED BY INDIVIDUAL DONORS, AND 3.5 IS RECEIVED IN TRAINING FEES. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4A | CONTINUED |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4B | RESEARCH INDICATES THAT REPRODUCTIVE LOSS IS ASSOCIATED WITH DELAYED OR PROLONGED GRIEF REACTIONS IN ADDITION TO A HIGHER RISK OF DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, PTSD AND SUICIDE. SOME INDIVIDUALS EXPERIENCE GRIEF SYMPTOMS FOR YEARS AND SOMETIMES DECADES. HOWEVER, THIS UNIQUE FORM OF GRIEF IS CULTURALLY DISENFRANCHISED RESULTING IN A LACK OF SUPPORT AND ACCESS TO THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTION. THE LACK OF A PRACTICAL CLINICAL SCREENER TO ASSESS GRIEF SYMPTOMS NEGATIVELY COMPOUNDS THIS SITUATION. TO ADDRESS THIS GAP IN CARE, THE INSTITUTE OF REPRODUCTIVE GRIEF CARE INITIATED THE DEVELOPMENT OF A 5-QUESTION SCREENER TO BETTER ASSESS PATIENTS NEED FOR SUPPORTIVE SERVICES. DURING 2023, IN COLLABORATION WITH RESEARCHERS AT UT HOUSTON, THE RESULTS OF CLINICAL TRIALS ESTABLISHING THE VALIDITY OF THE SCREENER WERE PUBLISHED IN THE PEER-REVIEWED JOURNAL CUREUS. ADDITIONALLY, A MIXED-METHOD STUDY TO TEST PATIENT PREFERENCES WAS PUBLISHED IN THE PEER-REVIEWED JOURNAL PEC INNOVATION IN COLLABORATION WITH RESEARCHERS AT INDIANA UNIVERSITY INDIANAPOLIS. FINALLY, WE WORKED WITH RESEARCHERS AT BAYLOR/TEXAS CHILDRENS HOSPITAL, INDIANA UNIVERSITY INDIANAPOLIS, AND SAN DIEGO STATE UNIVERSITY TO CRAFT AN IRB INTERNAL REVIEW BOARD APPLICATION TO EMBARK UPON THE NEXT PHASES OF RESEARCH NECESSARY TO BRING THE SCREENER TO MARKET. FURTHERMORE, INSTITUTE OF REPRODUCTIVE GRIEF CARE HAS BECOME A CLEARINGHOUSE FOR REPRODUCTIVE LOSS RESEARCH CONNECTING RESEARCHERS TO EACH OTHER AND PROVIDING A PLATFORM TO DISSEMINATE THE LATEST PUBLISHED STUDIES THROUGH OUR RESEARCH REVEALS LECTURE SERIES AND SYMPOSIUM SPOTLIGHTS. 100 OF SUPPORT FOR RESEARCH IS RECEIVED FROM INDIVIDUAL DONORS. |

| Form 990, Part III, Line 4C | DUE TO THE DISENFRANCHISED NATURE OF REPRODUCTIVE LOSS, WHICH CAN BE FURTHER COMPOUNDED BY SHAME AND SECRECY, INSTITUTE OF REPRODUCTIVE GRIEF CARE DEVELOPED AND MAINTAINS THE ANONYMOUS HEALING WEBSITES MISCARRIAGEHURTS.ORG AND YOURABORTIONEXPERIENCE.ORG. VISITORS CAN ANONYMOUSLY POST AND READ STORIES, IDENTIFY THEIR EMOTIONS, MEMORIALIZE THEIR LOSSES, AND CONNECT WITH HELPLINES AND SUPPORT GROUPS. IN 2023, A TOTAL OF 56,342 VISITS WERE MADE TO THE WEBSITES. 100 OF SUPPORT FOR HEALING RESOURCES IS RECEIVED FROM INDIVIDUAL DONORS. |
