Peer Support

The Peer Support Program is a service that provides emotional support, information, discussions and contact with other families learning to cope with the sudden death of their infant. Peer support volunteers are trained and supported by the Foundation to provide support to other families by telephone and by one-on-one or group meetings.  When providing one-on-one telephone support to families, the CFSID makes every effort to match new families with experienced volunteers who are similarly suited by age, situation and time zone.

Our Memorial Gallery offers families an environment to dedicate a remembrance to their child.  Many have included pictures, poems and links to their own websites.  We invite you to submit your memorial as well.

CFSID also offers numerous resources including brochures, books and DVDs.  They are available through the National Office.
