Transforming how we screen for, diagnose, and treat Perinatal Mood & Anxiety Disorders

Perinatal Loss & Grief Support
Supporting you through loss with compassion, understanding, and hope.

If you feel that you or a loved one may be suffering from a pregnancy or post-partum mood disorder, we strongly encourage you to contact your healthcare provider.
If you have thoughts of harming yourself, your baby, or others, or if your pregnant or post-partum loved one is exhibiting concerning behaviors, call 911.
Sharing Parents
Pregnancy and Infant Loss Support Group
Sharing Parents is a volunteer-run support group of parents who have experienced the death of their baby(ies) from the time of conception through early infancy.
The purpose of our support group is to provide an atmosphere where grieving parents can come together to share their feelings about their loss and the love they have for their babies.
It is also a place where parents express their love for their baby in their compassion for others, where they can give and receive emotional support by sharing common experiences, and learn about the natural grief process while working through and reconciling their loss.
Sharing Parents is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Sacramento, CA. They are not affiliated with any other organizations, hospitals, or health care providers. They are simply parents who have experienced the death of a baby and are here to support others in their journey.
