Specialty Support Groups
Adoption & Infertility
Meets Monthly
While adoption allows people to become parents, it does not cure infertility. This support group discusses the grief and loss of infertility as well as adoption. Current adoptive parents or those considering adoption are welcome, including those with biological children. This group meets monthly in Salt Lake City on the third Wednesday.
Pregnancy & Parenting
Meets Monthly
Parenting after infertility has its emotional ups and downs. Just because you are now a parent or pregnant doesn’t mean your infertility journey ends. This support group addresses fears we face, our unique view of parenthood, postpartum depression, stresses with our unique route to parenthood and more. This group meets monthly in Salt Lake City on the fourth Wednesday.
Men & Infertility
Meets Monthly
The emotional toll infertility can take on men is unique. From supporting their partners to facing their own grieving process, the journey can feel isolating. The men's support group is for any man who has been impacted by infertility (regardless of the cause). This group meets on the fourth Thursday.
Infertility and Grief
Meets Monthly
Our Grief and Infertility Support Group provides a space to support and grieve the loss of a baby in any stage (embryo through birth). This group is led by a therapist and other group leaders who have experienced infant loss. Attendees will be provided with education and coping strategies, stages of grief, self-care and communication. Meets on the third Thursday of the month.
