WHAT IS THE TFMR SUPPORT Association AND WHAT DOES IT DO?
The TFMR (Termination for Medical Reasons, Termination for Maternal / Birthing persons Health reasons, Termination for maternal/birthing persons Mental Health reasons) SUPPORT ASSOCIATION has been formed to create a credible network of TFMR specific, affirmative and safe organisations, charities and support spaces that are safe for the TFMR community.
The TFMR Support Association is formed and run as follows:
This is a board of TFMR Specific organisations (the TFMR Support Association Working Group) that meet, review, research and oversee that the safety requirements are met by all that form part of the TFMR Support Association. The TFMR Support Association has a working group that meets every year to review all TFMR Support Association Organisation and all TFMR Association affirmative organisation applicants to ensure that they are are TFMR Support SAFE.
This is the group of members that are TFMR Specific and have all been safety checked to ensure that the support they provide is TFMR specific, safe and non directive to support every parents right to choice.
This is the group of members that are not TFMR specific services. They have all been reviewed by the TFMR Support Association working group and are approved as TFMR safe spaces that will not only include TFMR in the baby loss conversation but will actively ensure a zero tolerance policy for any discriminatory behaviour towards TFMR parents is enforced in their spaces at all times ensuring inclusivity for all bereaved parents in their support spaces.
