About PREGNANCY LOSS AND INFANT DEATH ALLIANCE

Pregnancy Loss and Infant Death Alliance (PLIDA) is a Houston-based 501(c)(3) membership organization founded in 2004 that supports health care practitioners and parent advocates working with families who experience pregnancy loss, stillbirth, newborn death and related perinatal bereavement. PLIDA's work focuses on education, practice guidance, advocacy, and creating a professional network to promote consistent, compassionate, evidence-based care. PLIDA operates a suite of member services (including Ask PLIDA expert consultation, quarterly webinars, continuing education offerings, and member networking channels) and convenes the biennial International Perinatal Bereavement Conference (IPBC), which brings clinicians, researchers and parent advocates together for training and knowledge exchange. In recent years PLIDA has run regular webinars and conferences (IPBC events in 2022 and 2024) and is actively organizing IPBC 2026 (scheduled for May 13–16, 2026 in New Orleans).
