When a baby is found to have a potentially life-threatening health condition before or just after birth, encounters, interactions, and exchanges with providers can have a significant effect on a family’s grief journey. One family, whose son Adam died of Trisomy 13, set about ensuring his story would make a difference. They focused their efforts on professionals caring for families whose baby is diagnosed with a life-threatening condition—especially those entering the field of genetic counseling. Through their efforts and in conjunction with the University of Wisconsin-Madison, RTS offers a virtual, half-day workshop.
