IVF AND MENTAL HEALTH

IVF AND MENTAL HEALTH

Couples undergoing fertility treatment often have to cope with complex decision-making, rigid medication schedules, side effects, and the ongoing stress of dealing with the diagnosis of infertility. Rarely, if ever, do we talk about their mental health and the need for mental health professionals to become educated and specialized in the unique skills required to help them.
Join us in an interactive workshop on Assisted Reproduction Treatment (ART) and the assessment and treatment of various mental health issues during this period.
