TLC is the original bear giving program in Australia started in Adelaide in 2002 by 2 mums in memory of their daughters. It is a special gift from one bereaved family to another, something for them to hold onto before they have to leave the hospital with such empty arms. Family's welcomed and embraced the gesture by giving bears back to other family's about to travel this journey.
The bear giving is the basis of the TLC support program by connecting with bereaved families right at the very beginning and offering ongoing support.
The TLC program has been operating in every state of Australia since 2004 and now offers the program in every maternity hospital of Australia.
The TLC program is financed by fundraising, grants and the wonderful generosity of public donations.
TLC is run by a board of management and volunteer committees, consisting of a professional grief and loss counsellor,bereaved parents and trained support workers.
TLC aims to provide support and understanding to bereaved parents, family and friends. To let them know they are not quite so alone. To assist them in their grief process and to aid in their isolation, suffering and distress.
TLC brings pregnancy and infant loss awareness to the public, community & health professionals.
The program has been able to provide maternity hospitals with much needed resources and supplies that directly help bereaved parents.
TLC holds fundraising events, pregnancy and infant loss memorial and awareness events.
