SHARE
Pregnancy & Infant Loss Support Group
Share is a support group for parents who have experienced the death
of their baby(ies) from the time of conception through infancy. The
group creates an atmosphere where grieving parents with similar
experiences can come together and feel comfortable sharing their
feelings about loss and their love for their babies. It is an open
group.
Share Groups enable families to share in their sadness,
find support and rebuild their hopes through connections, comfort and
care. Share is an opportunity to come together with a community of
other parents... to understand the experience of your loss...to see the
uniqueness of your baby's life and the similarities of your
experiences.
This Share Group meets the fourth Monday of every
month from 7:00 pm to 8:30pm, in the Birthgirlz Community Office Space:
20 NE 41st Street Suite 2
Miami, Florida 33137
Groups are held in English only and are facilitated by a trained
therapist. Participation is voluntary and all information is kept
confidential.

BirthGirlz Soap Box Derby!
Every mother has a story...
A powerful, overwhelming, joyous,
disappointing, unexpected, inspiring, satisfying, transformational
story.
Why a soap box? Because mothers need to
be heard. We need a platform to share what makes us us. A forum to
listen to each other. A place to step up and speak, but not so high
that the village can't hear...
Why a derby? A derby is a race.
We're running that marathon everyday, making dinner, making decisions,
making people! We're running, but not against each other, for each
other, together...
The BirthGirlz Soap Box Derby is an ongoing series of community forums for mothers to discuss real issues that impact family living in our local communities. The casual and intimate format offers the opportunity to share our personal and community-based successes, offer support and resources to each other, and promote participation in grassroots activism and advocacy. Topics for discussion are truly unlimited and often include:
Birth Options and Experiences
Overcoming Previous Trauma
The Real Deal on Mothering and Parenting
Connecting with Like-Minded Mamas & Families
Mothering Beyond the Baby Days
Making It Work for Your Family
We'd love to host a Soap Box Derby in YOUR area!
