Black, Indigenous & People of Color (BIPOC) Pregnancy & Infant Loss Support Group
We know that losing a baby is an isolating and devastating experience for everyone, and that each and every person faces their own unique challenges. We also recognize that people of color often face additional hardships due to ongoing, systemic oppression and medical mistreatment, which contributes to increased rates of pregnancy and infant loss. When these harsh realities coincide with baby loss and/or infertility, it can be an especially challenging experience. Our BIPOC Pregnancy & Infant Loss Support Group is a compassionate, inclusive space where you can connect with others who understand what you are going through. Everyone grieves differently, and all emotions are welcome here. We hope that you will become a part of our loving community. You are not alone!
