How to support clients through common reproductive challenges

This is a live interactive webinar presentation.

Approximately one in eight couples have difficulty getting pregnant or sustaining a pregnancy (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2015-2019 National Survey of Family Growth). Individuals and couples experiencing infertility often endorse feelings of anxiety, distress, grief, and loss (Rooney & Domar, 2018; ASRM.org). This presentation will describe common reproductive challenges that may contribute to mental health symptoms and lead to a referral for psychotherapy, or may arise during a course of psychotherapy for unrelated issues. Participants will learn how to incorporate knowledge from this presentation when evaluating and treating patients experiencing infertility.

At the completion of the program, participants will be able to:

  • Identify and describe several common reproductive challenges that may arise during the course of treatment for mental health disorders
  • Increase awareness of how reproductive challenges can influence treatment goals
  • Incorporate evidence-based strategies when addressing stress related to reproductive challenges
  • Increase awareness of additional sources of support for clients struggling with reproductive challenges
