This April, Equilibria honors National Infertility Awareness Week (April 19–25). According to the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), 1 in 6 individuals globally is affected by infertility, while in the U.S. around 13.4% of women and around 11.4% of men have experienced infertility.

Living with infertility can bring significant feelings of loss, isolation and hopelessness. At Equilibria, our therapists want those living with infertility to know that they are not alone. We want you to know that you are your infertility. As The National Infertility and Family Building Association has put it so eloquently, "We are more than one in six. More than a stereotype. More than a narrow narrative of who experiences infertility or how family building should look" (2).
We join with Resolve: The National Infertility and Family Building Association and encourage you to wear orange this week to raise awareness, as the color orange represents wellness, emotional recovery and warmth.
Equilibria has licensed therapists experienced in supporting individuals living with infertility. Reach out today to schedule an intake appointment, you don't need to live in silence.
