Pregnancy & Infant Loss Support Group for Fathers

This group normally meets on the third Thursday of each month at 7:00 pm at:
Brook Lane North Village (Room 116)

Hagerstown, MD 21742
Father 2 Father is a monthly support group for fathers who have experienced a miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss. This group is different than most pregnancy and infant loss support groups because it is led by a loss father and is for loss fathers.
Led by Rob Embly, father of an angel baby. For more information send Rob an email at PAILfather2father@gmail.com.
