Autumn 2023 sessions
Dates for the diary…
Our team at SPACE have been taking a short summer break during August, but we’re back this September with another term of online support sessions.
Each session is really relaxed – we start with an informal online cuppa, chat and brief introduction to the SPACE community, followed by a chance to listen to a short interview with a guest speaker who will share a bit about their own journey through infertility or loss - what helped, what didn’t, and how they coped.
There’ll also be a chance to ask any questions that you might have - whether that’s about navigating the practical or emotional challenges of healing from a miscarriage, exploring experiences of various infertility treatments, dealing with processing grief, coping with seasons of waiting, experiences of fostering or adoption… or something else entirely!
Anyone who has experienced infertility or loss at any stage of pregnancy, whether recently or in the past, is welcome to attend any of our sessions as relevant.
You are welcome to take part at whatever level you feel able to - to say as much or as little as you feel comfortable with, to ask questions and share your own experiences or to just listen in, to post questions in the chat box, and to have your camera on or off.
It’s your space!
