Whispers - Pregnancy & Child Loss Centre
Whispers Pregnancy and Child Loss Centre (WPCLC) is the first designated centre in South Africa to offer immediate and ongoing support and counselling to individuals, couples and families who are experiencing or have been affected by miscarriage, stillbirth, infant or child loss. Our centre is based on principles of sensitivity, compassion and understanding where support is provided by highly trained and skilled professionals. Despite the high incidence of pregnancy and child loss, there is a veil of silence and misunderstanding as people are uncomfortable acknowledging and talking about the most tragic of all losses. By raising awareness and providing support, we aim to break the silence so parents and families can understand and cope with their loss and find meaning and purpose once more. |
