Do you need support?
Pregnancy loss can be a very traumatic and isolating experience. If you or someone you know needs support, you are not alone. There are a number of support networks available.
Miscarriage may be an individual journey, but no-one has to walk it alone. Pink Elephant's provides the latest resources, information and peer-support for anyone impacted by early pregnancy loss. Using evidence, empathy and connection, our unique digital-first approach offers a single source of specialist support, whenever and wherever it’s needed — for anyone who has directly experienced it, for family and friends, corporate partners or healthcare professionals seeking proven ways to help. With so much of the current experience of miscarriage based on old science, outdated perceptions, social anxiety, and mistruths, PINK ELEPHANTS aims to right the story of early pregnancy loss by smashing the stigma and leading a new narrative, creating a healthier experience for all. Founded in Sydney, Australia, in 2016, Pink Elephants is a registered charity. For support, or to help right the story of early pregnancy loss by joining our #circleofsupport, please visit: www.pinkelephants.org.au
Let’s walk this journey together. The Bears of Hope name is grounded in the truth that in this time of your devastating loss, there is an underlying strength that can never be taken away from you….Hope. Our program signifies the hope we hold for you. HOPE that we can provide comfort during these darkest of times and HOPE that by offering ongoing support we can help heal your hearts.
Sands is a volunteer-based organisation providing individualised care from one bereaved parent to another, giving them support and hope for the future, following the death of a baby. We are a welcoming, inclusive and compassionate community where bereaved parents and their families can honour and remember their baby and connect with others who’ve had similar experiences. Our aim is to meet bereaved parents wherever they are, physically, or emotionally, when their pregnancy has ended, or their baby has died – whether recently or many years ago. We’re in your local community, on the phone, or online.
1 in 7 couples experience infertility: but amongst them are those whose journeys can be longer, more challenging, and more unsuccessful than others. We're not just infertile. We're really, really infertile. We're barren. The hidden community of women supporting each other through these journeys is full of incredible wit, humour, and kindness. And amazing, heartbreaking, inspirational stories. Stories that don’t get told, because everyone only wants to hear about the success stories. So I decided to change that. AMAZING PEOPLE, AMAZING STORIES. This book and blog aren't about my story. They're a tribute to the wonderful, witty, kick-ass, foul-mouthed, kind-hearted, brave and ballsy community of über barrens (and the men who walk hand in hand by their side). If this sounds like you, please, please, do share your story too.
Beyond Blue is here to help people in Australia understand that these feelings can change. We want to equip them with the skills they need to look after their own mental health and wellbeing, and to create confidence in their ability to support those around them.
