Perinatal Loss Support Group by Bonnie Triantafillos, LCSW-C

3rd Tuesday of each month, 6 - 7:30 pm

Compassionate and safe space for individuals and families coping with the loss of a pregnancy or infant. Through guided discussions, shared experiences, and emotional support, we help members navigate grief, find comfort, and connect with others who understand. Each 90 minute session includes guided conversations around themes of loss and healing and time for open sharing. Participation is always at your own pace - silence is welcome, tears are welcome and all experiences are welcome. 

**At the end of each group, Bonnie invites participants who are currently pregnant to stay for 30 minutes to discuss any needs specific to their experience of pregnancy after loss

The group is not about "moving on", but about walking alongside one another in grief and remembrance.
