Infertility Virtual Support Group
2025-06-02 18:30 - 20:00 | WA
Mondays 6:30 – 8:00pm PST. Virtual.
Starting June 2nd

Register Here: bit.ly/pswainfertilitysupport

This 6-week virtual support group is a healing space for women and gender-expansive people navigating the grief and complexity of fertility challenges. Whether you recently received a diagnosis, are trying to conceive, living with the heartbreak of reproductive loss, or facing a fertility journey that looks different than you imagined, you are not alone, and you don’t have to carry it alone.
Beginning June 2nd, this weekly group will meet on Mondays from 6:30–8:00pm PST and will remain a closed cohort for the full 6 weeks to foster trust, continuity, and deeper connection. The group is limited to 8-12 participants to ensure an intimate, supportive space where each person can be witnessed and heard.
This group is not about fixing, diagnosing, or pushing past pain. It’s about being held in community — honoring the real, layered grief that fertility struggles often carry: sadness, longing, frustration, numbness, jealousy, anger, hope, and uncertainty. All of it belongs here.
This group may be a supportive fit if you:

Are grieving a fertility journey that hasn’t gone as hoped

Feel isolated or unseen in your experience

Are carrying fear, shame, or anxiety about what comes next

Have experienced loss or failed fertility treatments

Are exploring different paths to pregnancy or parenthood, or reimagining what family might look like

Are needing a space where your grief is honored, and you don’t have to carry it alone

Are seeking a community that understands the emotional toll of fertility challenges

More – this journey is diverse, and there is no wrong reason to join

Facilitated by Emily McKinley, PS-WA MSW Intern with lived experience and a trauma-informed approach, this group offers a place to be with what is- without judgment, without pressure, and without having to explain. You’re invited to show up just as you are.

Supporting Parents After Perinatal Loss Using Story: How Making Space for the Narrative Can Make a Difference (Webinar)
2025-05-27 09:00 - 10:30 | Online
So often, the stories of those who experience perinatal loss (including fertility losses, miscarriage, abortion, TFMR, stillbirth, and infant loss) don’t get told. There might not be a provider, a friend, or a family member who knows how to sit with the person who experienced the loss and to listen. To simply let the story be and not try to fix it. Losses are such delicate experiences, and not everyone knows how to hold them. This webinar will aim to increase perinatal professionals’ comfort with facilitating parent storytelling about perinatal loss by discussing and showing ways they can talk to parents about their experiences in a comprehensive way.
Date: Tuesday, May 27, 2025
