Infertility is on a rise, and it involves a struggle to build a family, to fulfill a dream, and to be happy. It is increasingly being studied as a medical condition, but is often experienced as a bio-psycho-social crisis. It is the absence of a desired state, like an unfulfilled dream, rather than being the presence of a medical condition. Infertility is recognized around the world as a distressing experience with potential for threatening individual, marital, family, and social stability.
Infertility and its medical treatment can be like a roller coaster ride with cycles of raised hopes followed by tragic disappointments, which can be emotionally and psychologically draining. The number of couples undergoing medical treatment for infertility and number of clinics providing such treatment is increasing over the years, but there has been no concurrent increase in the psychosocial services being provided to these couples.
We, at IReflect, aim at bridging this gap. We have done extensive research in the area of emotional and psychological concerns of couples undergoing treatment for infertility, and have designed our training programs on infertility on the basis of this research.
We conduct programs to provide support to couples undergoing such treatment, as well as training programs on psychosocial impact of infertility for counselors and doctors who work with infertility patients.
