Current and Upcoming Groups at Flourish
Navigating Your Fertility Journey: An Online Process Group
Going through fertility treatment can feel isolating, overwhelming and scary. Being able to talk to other people who are also on the journey can provide comfort, hope and community. In this group we strive to create that community to help empower you to forge a path that perhaps you haven’t necessarily witnessed others doing up close. As you navigate the treatment process, this group will connect you with people who can commiserate and truly understand your position.
Discussion Topics:
This group will offer you support, coping tools, and weekly fertility topics, such as:
- Navigating your relationships
- Anxiety: How it shows up & tools to manage it
- Social Media: The pros & cons
- Challenges with providers
- And, much more!
