United in Challenge: Understanding and exploring Infertility in the context of grief.

Sands South Australia is hosting a Workshop on IVF and grief. IVF grief is a richly intertwined grief with varying pressures and issues along with grieving for a baby.

Rebecca Kerner will be one of the speakers for Sands South Australia on the night. Rebecca is a UK-trained Psychotherapist and Counsellor with over 18 years experience specialising in Infertility, Grief and Relationship issues. She trained at Spectrum in the UK, the largest and most established centre in the world for humanistic psychology. Before moving to South Australia in 2012, she spent 8 years working collaboratively with GPs in Christchurch, NZ, and running the Canterbury support group for Fertility New Zealand, as well as being a board member of FNZ until 2010.Since moving to Adelaide she has consolidated her links with GP’s and continues to advocate for people affected with fertility issues. Having had her own past struggles to conceive a child, Rebecca provides individuals and couples with the opportunity to talk to someone who can understand their challenges.

There will be a Q & A with Rebecca and Sands South Australia Parent Supporters, followed with Supper and information on where to get further support.
