Azar House
We offer a pregnancy loss support group at our center. During your time at Azar House, you will meet with our staff and a group of men and women who have also experienced pregnancy loss. Our curriculum creates a safe space to talk about your struggles and begin your healing journey.
Foundations Counseling
This group is facilitated by Stacie Hensen, LPC. Through my own journey through infertility, I became acutely aware of the need for support during such a painful and isolating experience. It is so important to connect to other women who have experienced this journey in their own unique way. Members of this group have found comfort and companionship in knowing they are not alone through one of the most difficult times of their life. This group is free and open to all women who are at any stage of dealing with infertility or pregnancy loss!
Wyoming Winds Counseling
Every grieving experience is different. A person may be able to continue their day-to-day routine after one loss, yet not be able to get out of bed after the loss of someone else. Whatever your personal symptoms are, grief and bereavement counseling have been proven to help.
