Bedside support team/parent advocates
Our volunteer bedside bereavement support team consists of big-hearted individuals of all backgrounds seeking to support the needs of families in our community walking the journey of pregnancy and infant loss. Many of them have been touched either personally or professionally by loss. Our Bedside Bereavement Advocates are trained through our Perinatal Bereavement Training Program and support families at the time of loss with the gift of infant remembrance portraiture and memory making at the time of loss. Our Parent/Family Advocates support families in connecting with others post-partum through various support events and activities.
