Professionals
While finding a community of women who understand the loss of a baby is tremendously helpful, sometimes mothers require the assistance of a professional counselor. This type of care can compliment the support that is found in the company of other miscarriage, stillbirth & infant loss survivors.
The counselors on this site include care providers with a special interest in perinatal mental health issues. This section of our website is intended to be a resource only and we encourage you to contact providers directly. Please see our full health disclaimer HERE.
