April 19th-25th is National Infertility Awareness Week. 🧡
Worldwide, as many as 1 in 6 couples will struggle to conceive--that's approximately 17.5% of the population. These statistics have led to studies on how an infertility diagnosis can affect mental health and stress levels. Jamie Hales, a licensed clinical social worker at Huntsman Mental Health Institute has remarked: "The stress level for infertility is comparable to the stress level of being diagnosed with cancer." 🧡
Here at the PRC, we understand how the grief of infertility can affect families trying to conceive. If you ever need a gentle listening ear during your journey through infertility, fertility treatments, or reproductive loss, we are more than willing to engage with you and your story.
