Support Groups
Fertility Support Group
The Fertility Support Group is open to individuals who are going through fertility treatment. This group offers the opportunity to connect with others who are on a similar journey and provides instruction in specific coping skills known to improve mental well-being for those coping with fertility-related stress. The group meets for six consecutive weekly sessions, some of which are held in person at the Duke Fertility Center, and some of which will meet virtually over Zoom.
