Join Andrea DiOrio and Susan Villa for a presentation regarding pregnancy and infant loss. These tragedies affect more families than we realize and possibly may have impacted your life as well. This program will provide you with the tools and resources for those who have and those who know someone who has experienced pregnancy or infant loss. In addition, we will touch on how you may support those in your life who are grieving.
