C3 Support Groups

C3 Support Groups

An infertility diagnosis and follow-up treatment isn’t just physically and financially draining. It takes an emotional toll as well. That’s why we provide you with free, professional emotional support.

Yesh Tikva’s free Support Groups create an inviting virtual space where everyone can listen and share. Our goal is to provide a caring environment where you can meet others navigating the infertility journey and openly discuss the issues you’re facing.

Please review the free services we offer and RSVP using the links below.

COMPASSION – We are holding space for you. We are present, listening and making sure that you feel heard, loved and supported.

CONVERSATION – Sometimes it can feel very lonely and can be difficult sharing with others. Our groups provide you with a place to safely end your silence and share with others who understand.

COMMUNITY – You will have the opportunity to connect others in a similar space on their fertility journey. In this space you are not an “other,’ you are one of us, a valued member of this community.

All support groups are free of charge and run by our team of trained experts: Dvora Entin, LCSW, PMH-C; Deborah (Dubby) Rosner, LAC, PMH-C; Dr. Talia Hindin, PsyD; Abby Grayson, MA, LPC, NCC; Meira Alon, LCPC, LAC, LADC; and Rabbi Michael Bleicher, LCSW.

Yesh Tikva is here for you!

Virtual Support Group Guidelines and Waiver


To make this group safe, supportive, productive, and the best experience possible for group members, it is important for each member to make a commitment to actively attend the group. In doing so, you get the benefit of yours and others’ efforts. Please agree to abide by the following:

  • To be part of this group, I understand that I must join with my camera on and it must remain on for the duration of the group.

  • I understand that I may not describe anything discussed in group with others, or any details about other members, including their names, appearance or any other related personal information.

  • I understand that I may not record the group sessions in any way.

  • If I see other group members out in public, I will be respectful of their boundaries as some people would like to remain anonymous in the community.

  • I have been advised that Yesh Tikva will make every attempt to respect my privacy and boundaries.

  • I understand that this is an open group and new participants may join between sessions.

  • I understand that Yesh Tikva will use a third party video conferencing solution to facilitate the virtual support group meetings.

By participating in the call, each member has reviewed and accepted the security of the facilitating platform.

  • I understand that facilitators will not share my personal contact information with others.

  • I understand that this group is not a substitute for care you may need from a licensed healthcare practitioner. It’s purpose is to provide peer support and self-help education.

  • I understand that the group leader will not reveal information about me without my written permission except where disclosure is required by law: Anyone who indicated they wish to harm themselves or others.


  • Self-Care in Emergencies: If at any time I feel like harming myself or injuring another, I will let the group facilitator know and or contact my individual therapist or psychiatrist. If I cannot reach them, I will call either 911 or go to the nearest hospital emergency room.

FERTILITY FRIENDS

In addition to support groups, Yesh Tikva’s “Fertility Friends” program pairs those struggling with infertility with peer mentors who have already faced a similar struggle. Fertility Friends pairs are made based on diagnosis, medical history, age and personality preferences. These trained peer mentors become someone you can openly talk to and rely on. They provide individualized support at a time when you most need it.

Click here to learn more about being paired with a peer mentor.
