Candles in the Dark provides peer-based emotional support for families who have experienced the loss of an infant. We are not licensed therapists, counselors, or medical professionals. Our support is based on lived experience and is not intended to replace professional mental health care, medical treatment, or crisis services.

If you are experiencing a mental health emergency, please call the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline or contact a licensed therapist, doctor, or hospital.

By engaging with our volunteers or using this site, you acknowledge that Candles in the Dark does not provide professional counseling, and that any conversations are strictly peer-to-peer in nature.
