Service Description

Anam Cara provides monthly online and face-to-face group meetings throughout the island of Ireland. These are open to all bereaved parents with an emphasis on peer support. We also facilitate additional online bereavement support evenings with featured guest speakers who give an insightful talk about parental grief. If you are recently bereaved, these provide a gentle introduction to our services.

List of Services Available

Anam Cara provide 14 face-to-face meetings each month. We also provide 5 online meetings per month, so even if we are not located close to you, you can still connect with our service. These meetings provide a safe and comfortable place for bereaved parents to remember their child and share stories with other bereaved parents.

Before this website came along, we weren’t sure what services were available locally and how to access them. It’s great to now see them all listed in one place with lots of useful information and contact details.
