Angel Moms is a social group that grew out of a mutual need for connection and comfort during the early days of loss. Due to the circumstances of their children’s deaths, each mom had a calling to advocate for a cause. As each began their outreach efforts and shared their stories publicly, the Angel Moms became known.

Join Opening the World and Angel Moms of Marin for an evening of learning and connection for parents and young adults. The film and panel will include Kate Ruehle (sohererightnow.com) and other Angel Moms.
