​​Since 2016, Three Little Birds has served as a nest of support for more than 500 families experiencing miscarriage, stillbirth and neonatal loss in the Philadelphia and South Jersey region through various volunteer programs and virtual and in-person events. Through this experience, we have identified gaps in perinatal bereavement care both within the healthcare systems and the local community. We have been so fortunate to work with many families, providers, advocates and support groups to identify areas where we can best support families through this difficult experience. Starting in 2024, we are excited to revise our mission to ensure fair and equitable access for perinatal loss families to services we find valuable that also respect personal, religious, ethnic and spiritual diversity.

 

OUR MISSION:

To bridge the gap for perinatal loss families, advocates and professionals by providing empathetic support and resources at the time of loss and in the postpartum period for families experiencing miscarriage, stillbirth or the death of an infant.

​

Specifically, we support the community through our Bedside Bereavement, Bereavement Training and Postpartum Support Programs with the following principles and goals in mind:

​

• Advocacy -  It is our goal that every family experiencing stillbirth or infant loss have fair and equitable access to trained professionals and advocates that can help them navigate meaningful ways to parent their baby and the specialized support they need during the postpartum period while navigating their "new normal".

• Research - Our continued collaboration with perinatal and bereavement professionals and community partners, as well as loss families have afforded us a unique opportunity to identify common barriers at the healthcare level, collect valuable data and bridge gaps in perinatal loss care within the healthcare system as a community.

• Support -  We offer vetted and routinely updated resources to support the varied needs of the local community that support religious, cultural and spiritual diversity. This includes multi-lingual resources and access to mental health providers  with professional and lived experience with perinatal loss. Our resource packages are available in six languages.

• Validation - Our nest offers families a safe space to explore their grief, make meaningful connections with others and find special ways to honor their baby while giving back to support the perinatal loss community. This sense of community lets families know that while their experiences are unique to them and their family, that they are not alone in loss.
