​Since 2016, Three Little Birds has served as a nest of support for more than 500 families experiencing miscarriage, stillbirth and neonatal loss in the Philadelphia and South Jersey region through various volunteer programs and virtual and in-person events. Through this experience, we have identified gaps in perinatal bereavement care both within the healthcare systems and the local community. We have been so fortunate to work with many families, providers, advocates and support groups to identify areas where we can best support families through this difficult experience. Starting in 2024, we are excited to revise our mission to ensure fair and equitable access for perinatal loss families to services we find valuable that also respect personal, religious, ethnic and spiritual diversity.

 

Our mission: To bridge the gap for perinatal loss families, advocates and professionals by providing empathetic support and resources at the time of loss and in the postpartum period for families experiencing miscarriage, stillbirth or the death of an infant.

​

Specifically, we support the community through our:

​

• Bedside Bereavement Program: Three Little Birds supports families bedside through the gift of infant remembrance portraiture and encourages memory making and bonding. We work closely with providers to ensure an advocate is available to support the family and serve as a bridge for them after discharge and during the post-partum period and can answer any questions they may have on how to navigate the days, weeks and months ahead and find resources for physical, emotional and spiritual healing.

• Perinatal Bereavement Training Program: Our training program aims to educate and empower professionals in supporting families through these experiences through effective communication, understanding death rituals and requests that support the diverse populations locally that we serve and how to provide the gift of infant remembrance portraiture and encourage bonding and memory making when a volunteer advocate is not available.

• Postpartum Support Program: We offer resources and information for families to navigate their grief in safe spaces, make meaningful connections with others walking similar journeys and find creative ways to parent their babies. This includes our virtual and in-person support groups, legacy project program and signature events that honor Mother’s/Father’s Day as well as the annual Wave of Light in honor of Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness.
