Do you have lived experience with pregnancy or infant loss? Would you like to provide support and comfort to people and families as they navigate a loss of their own?

The Dragonfly Support Program (DSP) at Women’s Health Clinic offers support for individuals and family members who have been impacted by pregnancy loss, infant loss, or babies born to Spirit. Registration is open to anyone, of any gender, who has lived experience. 

Training for new peer support volunteers is now open. Peer support volunteers are essential to DSP.  

As a volunteer, you might: 

- offer one-on-one peer support to clients.
- facilitate online and in-person Grief Support Circles.
- participate in our Community of Practice. 

This training is structured into two sections: 

Section 1: Online 
In this section, you'll complete 9 training modules during independent online learning. Work at your own pace with our Google Classroom to get some of the basic peer support skills you'll need before practicing in person. This section takes up to 20 hours to complete. 

Section 2: In Person 
After completing the online modules, you'll come together in person with other volunteers-in-training. Over 4 sessions, you'll get a chance to practice peer support skills, have group discussions, and learn more about DSP policies and procedures. 

SECTION 2 DATES: Sunday Feb. 21, Sunday Feb. 28, Sunday March 7, and Sunday March 14 
WHERE: Ode’imin, 603 St. Mary’s Road 

You must attend all sections to become a volunteer in the program.
