We are so sorry that you find yourself here, but we are very glad you’ve found us.
Pregnancy and baby loss affects all communities, and everyone grieves in a way that is unique to them and the experiences surrounding them. These experiences may include the awareness and understanding of family and friends, or the quality of care received during pregnancy, and at the time of loss.
This is the same for Black and South Asian communities, however the difference is that we know both communities are more likely to experience pregnancy and baby loss due to the many inequalities. We have also heard from both communities who have shared with us very specific experiences of maternity care in which their concerns and voices were not heard or listened to. Read the findings of our Listening Project report.
Added to this, Black and South Asian parents may have additional experiences that include language barriers, and cultural customs, rituals and myths that can cause a further sense of isolation and loneliness.
We recognise the need for greater engagement and tailored support for Black and South Asian parents, family members and others. That is why we have created these dedicated safe and confidential spaces for anybody who has been impacted our touched by pregnancy or baby loss.
While we do not offer peer to peer support, we hope you will find something that feels right to you through the many options of support offered within the below individual links to support for Black and South Asian communities, Whatever option you decide, we assure you were are here to take the next steps with you, whenever you need us and for however long.
