Who attends Club Hope?
Our monthly metings is primarily for women in the Vancouver, WA / Portland, OR metro area.
Women from all stages of life and the infertility journey attend the monthly event. We usually get between 5-10 women each month.
What usually happens during meetings?
Each meeting is unique. We usually give people chance to share what is going on in their life that month (sharing is not mandatory). Some meetings we discuss certain topics as a group (Ex. dealing with family and friends who are pregnant, potential medical procedures, hard days, what helps you deal with your infertility, etc). Other meetings we will bring in special speakers to talk about particular issues (Ex. adoption, when is it wise to seek counseling, medical procedures, etc.)
We also will schedule events where we invite our husbands to attend (Ex. Pizza night, special speakers, etc.). We are open to doing more events with men if they more become interested. Brad, Stephanie's (the group leader) husband, is also willing to meet with the men one on one as needed.
