The TLC program is the original bear giving program in Australia established 26th October 2002 in Adelaide. TLC operates in every state of Australia with the program represented in almost every maternity hospital across the country. We donate TLC Teddy Bears to bereaved parents, in the hope the bear may help to ease the pain of leaving the hospital with such aching empty arms. We aim to provide parents with the comfort of knowing they are not alone right from the beginning, and offer significant ongoing support & understanding to bereaved parents, their families and friends through the provision of bereavement support services including: counselling, 1800 free call support line, the TLC resource pack, support groups, online support, monthly newsletter, bereavement resources and memorial events just to name a few..
