This online Support Group is for Dad's of Australia who have experienced the loss of their baby during Pregnancy, Birth or Infancy. This includes Miscarriage, Genetic Interruption, Stillbirth, Multiple Loss, Neonatal & Infant Death.

When your baby dies, there are many emotions dad's may find hard to deal with or even express aloud. We hope this support group will encourage you to express yourself, provide hope and healing, and create an outlet for the various emotions you may be trying to deal with. It may also offer mateship through connecting with others who are also going through a difficult time. It is important that dad's know there is a place to go to without even having to leave your home.

The Bears Of Hope Pregnancy & Infant Loss Support Program is a not-for-profit organisation based in NSW. We have been running since 2006. We donate traditional teddy bears through NSW & ACT Hospitals as an early initiative to reach parents when they suffer the loss of their baby. We hope to provide comfort to parents knowing they are not alone right from the beginning and also offer significant ongoing support. Each bear is lovingly donated to honour another little soul taken too soon. Please visit our website www.bearsofhope.org.au for more information.
