Mornings
Held in someone's
home during the day on a bi-monthly basis. Coffee mornings are less
formal than support meetings. Bereaved parents are able to bring
their subsequent or surviving children. Discussion is not necessarily
about the baby who died but it is accepted that all who attend are
either bereaved parents or people who are supporting bereaved parents.
Visits

SANDS volunteers
are available to speak to health professionals, welfare workers
and other interested members of the community about the needs of
bereaved parents.
Library
The library
is available for bereaved parents or relatives to borrow books.
The library is based at the Glandore Community Centre and is managed
by a SANDS volunteer.
