"Infertility is a deeply impactful and often overlooked perinatal mental health challenge, marked by grief, trauma, and identity distress. This presentation introduces a structured, fertility-informed care model developed by Seven Starling, integrating ACT, CFT, CBT, narrative therapy, and trauma-informed approaches. Participants will learn evidence-based interventions tailored to the emotional complexities of fertility treatment. The training also highlights culturally humble care, measurement-based assessments, and digital supports to strengthen engagement and track progress.
