This structured, supportive group focuses on building awareness of how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact. Participants learn skills to challenge negative thinking, strengthen emotional regulation, and develop healthier coping strategies.

After the Loss: A Pregnancy Loss Group
After the Loss: Pregnancy Loss Support Group offers a compassionate space for individuals navigating miscarriage, stillbirth, TFMR, or pregnancy loss. This group recognizes the layered grief, emotional trauma, and isolation that often follow loss. Through gentle discussion, psychoeducation, and shared connection, participants are supported in processing their experience at their own pace. Our group emphasizes emotional safety, validation, and understanding — honoring each person’s story without comparison or pressure to “move on.” You are not alone in your grief, and healing does not have to happen in silence.
