SUNDAY OCTOBER 13 ~ 2-4PM
A New Understanding Through the Stories of Others
Perinatal death may be a mystery to those without personal experience, for it is a loss shrouded in silence. During this event, perinatal loss expert, Dr. Nikki Berry, will explain perinatal death and its impact on families. Using stories from her research, she will help attendees understand not only what perinatal death means, but how to support those who have experienced the loss of a pregnancy or baby.
THIS EVENT IS FREE. JUST TURN UP OR RSVP ABOVE IF YOU CAN.
