WORKSHOP | How to support friends and colleagues through infertility and miscarriage

How you can you add purpose and value as an ally to a colleague's fertility process or miscarriage?

Thanks to major lifestyle, environmental and societal shifts over the last few decades, many of us now experience challenges with fertility. One in three report that they (or someone they know) have used some form of fertility treatment, and one in four experience miscarriage, with that number rising to as many as one in two the older we get.

With so many people impacted, it is time we equip ourselves to better understand and support those facing these challenges.

During this 60 minute workshop, we will discuss how you can better understand and support friends and colleagues who may be struggling with fertility. We will also approach dealing with the unfortunate reality of miscarriage.

The aim is to leave with a better understanding of what someone experiencing these challenges may be going through, and (armed with practical tips and tricks) how you can offer genuine support.

Workshop outline:

Understanding some of the facts and dynamics that are the driving force behind why so many of us will be impacted in some way by infertility and miscarriage.
Walking a mile in someone else’s shoes: IVF: yes it’s now more common, but many of us don’t appreciate the hard reality of it.
We’ll take a quick look at what a person undergoing fertility treatment may experience.
The unspoken toll of miscarriage: we’ll take a look at the latest research around the mental health impact of miscarriage (30% of women who have miscarried are now classified as having some form of PTSD).
‘What helped me’: practical tips and tricks to provide real support. Taken from snippets shared by The Journey community who have experienced these challenges first hand.
