Open Parent Support Evening
Open group for parents who have lost a child of any
age regardless of how long it has been since the loss.
This
support group is open format and offered once a month.
Participants may attend the group as personally needed
and for any number of weeks. The topics for the evening
will be dictated by the needs of the members who attend.
Group facilitators are themselves bereaved and at a place
in their grief journey that they are capable of giving
back. The facilitator will have completed BFO's facilitator
training course and will provide the group with support
and guidance during the meetings.
Applicants for the group will be parents who have experienced
the loss of an infant or child of any age or gestation
and are looking for support from peers. Group members
are asked to contact the office via email or telephone
with their intent to join the group so accurate numbers
can be given to the facilitator.
Please note that this group meets in person and that this
is an ongoing group that only runs when there are enough
people to sustain it. Once notification has been received
the participant will be contacted to discuss the details
of the group and when the next group is available if one
is not currently running.
