The loss of a baby or infant causes unimaginable pain and devastation. Our specialist counsellors and peer supporters provide free, trauma-informed, compassionate support in a safe space so families can gradually rebuild their lives after the death of their baby or infant.

Situation
With 1 in 4 pregnancies ending in loss and 4 babies stillborn each week in Scotland, the need for our services is profound. After the loss of a baby or infant many families often feel deeply alone and isolated in their grief, it can be extremely difficult for families to have the strength to reach out for help. Early intervention and support is key to prevent further trauma and complex grief further down the line. While we can't prevent the death of a baby, we can ensure that no one walks alone.
Solution
Grief cannot be fixed but is a process that needs flexible and compassionate support. We provide baby loss counselling and peer support to bereaved families. The majority of our staff are bereaved parents themselves, so through shared, lived experience, we provide compassionate support for our families and each other. All our support is free, personal to each family and available for as long as is needed. Our support includes counselling, one to one and group peer support and community events.
