SUMMARY:Expressing the Unseen ~ A Free Online Workshop to Help Provide Heal
 ing for Pregnancy Loss
DESCRIPTION:When Pittsburgh author and art therapist Hayley Wilds experie
 nced her first miscarriage in 2017\, she had no idea the challenging road 
 that lay ahead. The silence and stigma she encountered made an already pai
 nful grieving process that much more difficult. Her recently released book
 \, Creative Healing for Pregnancy Loss\, endeavors to break that silence 
 and give loss parents a sacred space for grieving. Creative Healing for P
 regnancy Loss features research-backed information\, creative prompts\, t
 herapeutic exercises\, grief rituals\, and validation from an art therapis
 t with lived experience.\n\nIn honor of October’s designation as Pregna
 ncy and Infant Loss Awareness Month\, Wilds will present a free online wor
 kshop “Expressing the Unseen: Using Art to Heal After Pregnancy Loss”
  on Thursday\, October 17th from 12 noon to 1pm. The workshop will prese
 nt creative tools to help parents through the grieving process and begin t
 o heal.\n\nWilds wants other loss parents to know they aren’t alone. She
  explains\, “Pregnancy loss is more common than people realize. But no 
 one talks about it\, and that makes it hard to process what you’re going
  through.”\n\nAccording to recent data\, 1 in 4 pregnancies ends in misc
 arriage\, and 1 in 100 ends in stillbirth. With numbers like these\, one m
 ight assume access to support is easy. But\, as Wilds discovered throughou
 t her journey\, that is not the case. She hopes this workshop and her book
  will give pregnancy loss survivors much-needed resource as they navigate 
 their unique grief experience.\n\nTo register for the free online workshop
  on October 17th\, or for more information\, please visit https://hayleyw

 breaking the silence around pregnancy loss and supporting others in their 
 grief. She is the owner and lead clinician at the Center for Creative Cou
 nseling in Pittsburgh\, PA\, where she specializes in therapy for moms\,
