In person support groups have been suspended in some areas as we continue to follow COVID-19 social distancing guidelines. If you would like to join one of our virtual support groups contact Margaret at emotionalsupport@thetearsfoundation.org
Support Groups
The TEARS Foundation offers free support groups for bereaved families who have experienced the death of their baby. We also have trained “Peer Companions” available to talk over the phone or meet with you. A Peer Companion is a bereaved parent or family member who has also lost a baby, has at least 2 years through their grief process, and has completed the TEARS training. To be connected with a Peer Companion contact our office at 253-200-0944, office@thetearsfoundation.org.
Below is a list of current groups offered. The groups are always open monthly to new members and everyone is welcome to attend. You may join our online Pregnancy & Infant Loss group, here. Support for the deaf community and Spanish speaking community is also available.
For questions about any of these groups, call the TEARS office at 253-590-7373.
