Sands Australia is a non-profit
organisation that provides peer to peer support to families grieving after the
loss of a baby through miscarriage, stillbirth or newborn death.
Support is provided through
face-to-face meetings and a 1300 support line. Further to that information and
resources is available on our website (www.sands.org.au).
We are also active on social media (Facebook, Twitter, You Tube and Pinterest) including a closed and private Facebook group used to provide
further support at different stages.
As part of our commitment to
provide accessible information, we are in the process of launching a blog and
invite you to share your posts with us, in order to help others. The blog can
be seen at http://sandsaustralia.blogspot.com.au/
In return for your blog posts we
will provide a profile for you on our website as a guest blogger and links on
both your profile and also blog posts back to your blog and/or website. In
addition we will post blogs and links on our social media.
We are also in a position to pay bloggers a
total of $50 for a post of 500-800 words. Posts must be original and not be reproduced elsewhere
without recognising Sands.
It is our experience that
grieving families value the importance of reading other people’s stories – it
helps with their healing and also to not feel so alone.
We would appreciate your support
with the Sands blog.
Please send your ideas for what
you would write about and bio together with relevant links (website, blog and
social media) to Pauline at info@sands.org.au
I look forward to having you
support our new blog
Kind regards
Christine Carroll
