STILLBIRTH SUPPORT
Postpartum Support...
Navigating a new normal...
The goal of our Postpartum Support Program is to give parents a safe space to explore their grief, make peer connections with others, find resources to help unexpected burdens and encourage parents to find meaningful ways to parent their baby.
​
The postpartum period looks different for each parent and every family. While there is no rule book or one size fits all solution to navigating grief, we have learned giving families access to others who have also walked the journey of pregnancy and infant loss has tremendous value. Below is an overview of our offerings and other providers that can support parents through this time.
Virtual support offerings
Our virtual support group is for local walking the journey of perinatal loss (miscarriage/stillbirth/neonatal loss) to find peer and professional support in the postpartum period.Our virtual groups are open to all family members navigating the postpartum period after loss with a loved one and is supported by our parent/family advocates. Cameras/sharing are always optional and couples are encouraged. Our virtual groups are generally held at 6 PM EST via Google Meet.
