Her Journey Baby Loss Support
Her Journey is a trauma-informed support service delivered by Leo’s Charity (via the Pilgrim Trust Young Women in Mind programme).
We support young women (aged 16–25 at the time of referral) who have experienced pregnancy, baby, or neonatal loss.
We accept referrals for families across Redcar & Cleveland, Middlesbrough, Stockton, Hartlepool, and Darlington.
The service is specifically designed for women affected by:
In the last three years
- Pregnancy loss including miscarriage and TFMR
- Baby loss, including still birth and neonatal loss (where the loss occurred on the neonatal unit including supporting parents of surviving twins/triplets)
- A current high-risk pregnancy following a previous loss
Update: We are thrilled to announce that, thanks to new funding from Red Balloons and the Tees Valley Peer Support Network, our baby loss peer support is currently open to all ages for a 16-week project. This service will cover families across the whole of the Tees Valley.
