little feet taking big steps ... to reduce stillbirth

University of Newcastle (NSW) Honours student researcher, Shari Bonnette, has recognised there is little research available that explores men's perspectives of stillbirth. To address this she is currently undertaking social research on men's experience of stillbirth, with a focus specifically on grief, identity and support networks.

To participate in this research project you must be male, aged over 18 years, and whose female partner has experienced stillbirth between 6 months and 3 years ago. 

Involvement means attending a one-hour interview, which can be held throughout the Hunter Valley, Central Coast and Sydney. If you live outside this are and are keen to participate, please contact Shari to discuss alternative arrangements.
