Three Little Birds Support offerings
2025 Virtual Support Schedule
Our virtual groups are open to all family members navigating the postpartum period after loss with a loved one and is supported by our parent/family advocates. Cameras/sharing are always optional and couples are encouraged. Our virtual groups are generally held at 6 PM EST via Google Meet.
​
Live Q&A with Licensed Providers
Thanks to our collaborations with Postpartum Support International NJ Chapter and the Cooperative, Three Little Birds hosts live Q&As with licensed mental health providers for families who have not yet explored the value of therapy or have limited access to mental health offerings. Our providers have professional and personal experience with loss, as well as postpartum support. Cameras are always optional. Couples/family members are always welcome.
​
​Our virtual groups are on pause for summer. Check back for fall dates soon.
In Person Support Events
Over the past eight years, Three Little Birds has hosted a variety of support events focusing on physical, emotional and spiritual healing. These events have seen hundreds of perinatal loss families and advocates find healing and connection and helped us develop a community of support for one another. This includes our legacy project events, signature events, support groups and attendance at community events hosted by others. Below is an overview of the events we have hosted:
Support for bereaved siblings of all ages
MONDAY, JULY 28TH 3 PM, VOORHEES LIBRARY, VOORHEES, NJ - Bereaved Sibling Support Advocate, Jeniayah Lewis, will host her first in-person support group for Three Little Birds. She experienced the loss of her baby brother, Josiah, when she was 13 years old and created her legacy project, JoJo's Rockets. to support other grieving children in understanding they are not alone and none of what happened is their fault. If you have an older sibling at home that seems to be struggling with navigating their feelings or grief, please do not hesitate to reach out to me and I can help both parent and child navigate this experience with resources and support!
This event is for children of all ages (and their parents) and will have light snacks, age-appropriate activities and take-home support and resources. Please click the link to register to attend!
