Everly’s Law Training & Hospital Support
Texas Perinatal Bereavement Support
Everly's Law (HB 37), established new standards for how hospitals in Texas support families experiencing pregnancy and infant loss. The Mourning Forecast partners with hospitals and maternal care teams to provide trauma-informed training, staff education, and program development that helps hospitals meet these standards while strengthening compassionate care practices. Our trainings equip healthcare professionals with the tools needed to support families experiencing:
Intrauterine Fetal Demise
Stillbirth
Neonatal Death
Prenatal Diagnosis of Life Limiting Conditions
How We Support Hospitals
Our programs are designed to help hospitals strengthen staff preparedness and implement compassionate care practices that align with the intent and minimum standards of HB 37.
