October 15: National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day

This day is a solemn reminder of the pain, grief, and loss experienced by countless families around the world.

As a therapist, I want to shed light on the significance of this day, the emotional struggles many face, and offer guidance on how we can support those who have endured these heart-wrenching experiences.

Taryn Zweygardt, LSCSW, PMH-C, and Lauren Scafe, LMSW, BSN-RN, co-owners of Flourish Wellness Collective, were recently featured on the popular morning show, Good Day Kansas. The feature showcased Flourish's commitment to empowering individuals during the perinatal phase and its mission to promote holistic well-being for families.

Most people have never heard the term: perinatal. We know prenatal is before the baby arrives and postnatal/postpartum is after the baby arrives, but what is perinatal then? Those who are expecting or have fresh, new bundles of joy would certainly like to know.

What: We are opening our doors to introduce the community to our dedicated team of providers and offer a glimpse into the array of services they provide.

When: October 12, 5 p.m. - 7 p.m.,

Where: 10209 W Central Ave, Ste 1, Wichita, Kansas
