NEW PATIENT SUPPORT GROUP

GIVF is proud to announce the formation of a new support group for patients undergoing treatment for infertility. The IVF support group will meet monthly, led by Phyllis Martin, LPC. The group is designed to help couples and individuals who feel they would benefit from the support and interaction of others who are going through similar experiences. There will be opportunity to share or simply listen as the group discusses a wide range of topics surrounding how best to cope with the emotional and physical stress involved with the diagnosis of infertility. Discussion will focus on topics such as how to face questions from friends and family about the absence of children, how to deal with the mixed emotions regarding friends who get pregnant easily, and how infertility diagnosis and treatment can affect a marriage as well as how we look at ourselves.

GIVF is committed to our patients' emotional and physical well-being. The new IVF support group will be open to anyone who wants to attend and will be offered at no cost. The group meets at the GIVF third floor lobby on the fourth Tuesday of each month from 7:15 PM to 8:30 PM. GIVF also holds a monthly Donor Egg IVF Support Group meeting.
