WORKSHOP | How you can add purpose and value as an ally to a colleague’s fertility process or miscarriage

How we’ll achieve this:

• 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. (40% of people experiencing infertility can experience suicidal thoughts and 80% depression).
• 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).
• Tips to help you be supportive in your personal and professional relationships and how to make sure you look after yourself when supporting others too
