Family Healing Circles

A Safe Space for Families to Find Hope and Healing

Family Healing Circles bring together Black and Brown grieving mothers and their families (ages 4+) navigating the death-loss of a child.

These gatherings offer a safe and compassionate space to heal together through:

  • Gentle reflection and open conversation
  • Creative and expressive activities
  • Connection with others who share similar experiences


Whether you’re a grieving mother or a family member walking alongside one, Healing Circles provide a safe space where memories can be honored, emotions can be expressed, and healing can begin—together.

Peer Support Groups

No One Should Have To Grieve Alone

Peer Support Groups provide safe, compassionate spaces for bereaved mothers who have experienced pregnancy, infant, or child loss. Groups are led by trained peer facilitators with lived experience and supported by licensed therapists, creating a community rooted in empathy, cultural understanding, and care.

Programs offered:

  • Angel Moms (Pregnancy & Infant Loss)
  • A Mother’s Mourn (Child Loss Support)

 

These peer-led gatherings offer healing through:

  • Open conversation and shared reflections
  • Creative and expressive activities
  • Support from others who truly understand

 

Each group is designed to foster connection, reduce isolation, and create space for healing to begin — together.

Individual & Family Therapy

Professional Support For Deeper Healing

Adam’s Purpose connects bereaved mothers and their families to licensed therapists who provide culturally responsive, trauma-informed individual and family therapy. These services support families navigating the emotional, relational, and mental health impacts of pregnancy, infant, and child loss.

Therapy may support participants with:

  • Processing grief and trauma at their own pace
  • Managing anxiety, depression, and emotional overwhelm
  • Strengthening family communication and relationships
  • Supporting children and partners impacted by loss

 

Individual and Family Therapy is offered as a complement to Peer Support Groups and may be accessed alongside or following group participation based on funding and therapist availability.
