Peer Support & Resources

Peer Support

While grieving is a very personal process, grieving the loss of an infant is very challenging  because it can be difficult for others to relate to. In light of this fact, we offer grieving individuals access to our national peer to peer support network. Simply call our toll-free line or send us an email and we will work to connect you with an individual who has experienced a loss similar to yours and who will be able to assist you to address some of the questions you may have.

Email info@babysbreathcanada.ca or call 1 800 363-7437 to request support.
