On this day, many public buildings and monuments are lit up in pink and blue joining in on the remembrance

Midday support group- September 9th from 11 am to 1 pm.

Midday Support Groups are a great way to meet other grieving parents. They are a wonderful place to share your feelings and frustrations. Peer-to-peer support groups are a form of self-help where individuals with shared experiences or challenges connect to share their stories, offer mutual support, and gain insights. These groups are led by peers, individuals who have also lived pregnancy and infant loss. They provide a space for emotional support, practical advice, and a sense of community, often fostering a feeling of "I am not alone". The IRIS Support Groups often have keepsakes for you to make and take home.
