General Support Meetings

We invite you to attend HAND support meetings. At these informal gatherings you can receive and give support by sharing common experiences as we work through and resolve our losses. Meetings may start out with a topic of discussion, but everyone is free to bring up any questions or aspects of their loss that may concern them. Attending your first meeting may take courage, but parents who attend find a comforting network of support, encouragement, friendship and understanding. Nothing is required of you. There are no dues or fees. You need not speak one word. Even if you no longer need the meetings for yourself, come and share your experiences with someone who has recently suffered a loss.
