RETURN TO ZERO HEALING CENTER
This center was developed after Sean and Hiley Hanish experienced the stillborn death of their baby. Their story was made into movie in the hopes of shedding light on this taboo topic. To help shatter the stigma and silence associated with stillbirth. They believe that with this center, through outreach, education, research and retreats, it will help others to find hope and healing

   SUPPORT GROUPS

JOY IN BEREAVEMENT meetups
I am an administrator and co-moderator for the monthly Santa Clarita JOY IN BEREAVEMENT meetups, which are held in my home or the homes of others who attend this group. This makes for a more comfortable, personal atmosphere. Our meetups are not structured and usually start out with random conversation, some coffee, some food and then stories are shared by anyone who wants to do so.
Joy in Bereavement was created to form a community of support for bereaved parents in both the Antelope Valley and Santa Clarita Valley, and raise Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness. See below for meetup options.

               *OPTION 1: SANTA CLARITA
                  The Santa Clarita meetups are held Tuesday or Wednesday in the first week of the month from 6:30 - 8:00 pm.
