Anam Cara is an all-Ireland organisation founded by bereaved parents to ensure families have access to information and support. We provide a range of bereavement support services. We offer peer support and understanding to parents who have experienced the death of a child. Sadly, each year in Ireland about 2,750 families experience the death of a son or daughter. For some, the death may have been expected, through illness or a life-limiting condition. For others, it was unexpected through stillbirth, an accident, suicide or substance abuse. Our online and face-to-face services are available to all parents-no matter what the age or circumstances of your child's death. They are available for as long as you need them. At Anam Cara we focus on the similarities of our loss rather than the differences. We provide a level of support and understanding that others cannot offer. Our bereavement as parents unites us.
