Each year on October 15th the world acknowledges Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day. Losing a pregnancy or a baby at any stage is an emotionally difficult experience. 💜

We are currently developing programs that aim to support women through many aspects of prenatal, perinatal and postpartum care, including infant loss supports.

In the meantime, visit https://www.bcapop.ca/page-18550 to discover useful information available to mothers and families experiencing loss.

Call Hannah for more information on BCAPOP, or how to get connected with help facing pregnancy and infant loss. 📞 us at 1-844-324-2004 toll-free.
