SPACE. to meet
Want to try a SPACE online support session?
Our online sessions offer a unique space for supporting christians who are wrestling with questions about faith, infertility and pregnancy or baby loss.
About our sessions
Who can attend?
Anyone who has experienced infertility, pregnancy or baby loss at any stage (whether recently or in the past) can attend our online sessions. You don’t have to identify as a christian, but discussions will be faith informed. Partners & supporters are also very welcome.
Who will host?
All of our sessions are peer led by members of our network, who each have their own lived experience of dealing with miscarriage and/or infertility and know how to talk about it sensitively.
What happens?
We aim to make our support sessions as relaxed as possible. We start with a cuppa and brief introduction to the SPACE team members who are hosting. Then there’ll be chance to listen to a guest speaker who will share a bit about their own experiences with infertility and/or loss, and we always leave a bit of time for questions and discussion at the end.
What will be expected of me?
Nothing at all. You’re welcome to participate in sessions at whatever level you feel able to - you can ask questions, share your own experiences, post comments in the chat box, or just listen in (with your camera on or off). It really is your space!
