In partnership with Gilda's Club, a monthly support group is offered on the third Monday of each month at 6 pm for those who have experienced miscarriage, stillbirth, or early infant death. This group is a time of connecting with others who share similar experiences and normalizing the experience of grief.

Facilitated by licensed mental health professionals, this group provides a space where you can be real and honor the full range of emotions you're experiencing as well as share coping strategies or firsthand information with others who understand.

This support group meets in-person at Gilda's Club Grand Rapids. If you would like to join, please call 616.453.8300 or email info@gildasclubgr.org.
