Nurturing You: Wellness for Bereaved Parents | Virtual, mid-March through mid-May 2025  No Cost to Participants

Join this 8-week, virtual, free-to-you program designed for bereaved parents. Through mind-body medicine strategies, the program will promote healing from psychological trauma and teach coping skills to manage stress. Led by Christy Gauss, MSW, LSW of Ignite Wellbeing, these sessions are for bereaved parents only, however you do not need to be a milk donor to participate.

This group session will be limited to 8-10 participants and will take place virtually via Zoom. The sessions will be about 90 minutes and will begin late March 2025 and will run for eight weeks. The exact dates and times will be determined as the group forms. After you complete the registration form, you will be contacted by a member of the Ignite Wellbeing team to complete the registration process.

The Milk Bank is proud to offer this free-to-you wellness opportunity thanks to generous grant funding. This funding allows us to break down financial barriers, ensuring that bereaved parents can find healing, support, and connection within a compassionate community of those who truly understand.
