Led by trained peer facilitators, PSI's Birth & Medical Trauma Loss support group is for birthing persons who have experienced birth and/or medical trauma while also grieving the death of their baby. This space acknowledges the weight of both realities: the physical and emotional impact of a traumatic birth and the grief of loss.

You may have felt unheard, unsupported, or out of control during your childbirth experience. You may find yourself reliving moments, avoiding reminders, or carrying emotions that feel heavy. On top of that, you are navigating the deep pain of living without your child. You deserve a place where both your trauma and your loss are recognized and supported.

Here, you are not alone, and you are not to blame. While we honor that your story has value, we do not process detailed birth stories in this space, as they can be triggering to others. Instead, we focus on understanding the effects of trauma, exploring emotions, sharing the unique challenges of grieving after birth trauma & loss, and practicing coping strategies together.

πŸ’™ Language matters in adoption πŸ’™

As we honor National Adoption Month this November, it’s important to recognize that the words we use can empower or disempower expectant and birth parents.

Terms like β€œgive up the baby” or β€œput up for adoption” carry harm and historical weight. Instead, saying β€œplacing the baby for adoption” honors the love, agency, and thoughtful decision-making of the parent(s).

Every parent deserves inclusive, compassionate care, with screening for mental health and support through their adoption journey. Providers can make a difference by being aware of bias, using empowering language, and creating a safe space.
