Fertility Support Group
Building Resilience in the Face of Fertility Challenges
The Journey to pregnancy when facing infertility can be emotionally overwhelming. You may find yourself experiencing mood swings alternating between apathy & numbness to intolerable pain & despair. Just the sight of a baby wrapped in someone's arms or the sight of a stranger with a big, round pregnant belly walking past activates the intense feelings of shame, envy, despair, anger, and hopelessness. We are here to provide you a safe space to share all and find community and support for your emotions on this journey.
Week One: Welcome! We'll share what to expect in the group, set goals, and begin discussing loss and grief.
Week Two: Identity - We will explore the ways that infertility affects, interrupts, and shifts identity.
Week Three: Partnership and Boundary Setting - Learn how partnership can be affected by the infertility journey and discover tools for setting boundaries with loved ones .
Week Four: Depression, anxiety and anger - Gain helpful tools for navigating the roller coaster of emotions which arise during fertility challenges.
Week Five: Building Community and Farewell - We'll discuss steps for strengthening your support system and reflect on key takeaways from your experience during the group.
