NIAW Day 5 - Impact your community

Think about and decide how you can have an Impact Your Community today! 
Volunteer, host a support group, raise awareness. (as provided by RESOLVE, The National Infertility Association)
Making an impact on your community with RESOLVE's message will not only benefit the thousands of women and men who suffer with infertility in silence, but it will benefit you.  We hear from our volunteers every day that giving back and engaging their community in a conversation about the issues surrounding infertility helps them find hope and a resolution to their own family building journey. 

Take a moment and think about how you can make an impact on your community. 
  • Order free brochures from RESOLVE and drop them off at your local ob/gyn offices so you can reach someone sitting in that office wondering "why is it so hard to get pregnant?"--email: publications@resolve.org
  • Host a RESOLVE support group--visit this link for more details.
  • Call a local radio station during "drive time" and let them know it's National Infertility Awareness Week and if listeners are having trouble getting pregnant, they need to "take charge and know the facts". Make sure to mention resolve.org/takecharge
  • Talk to your family, friends and coworkers about your family building journey.  Engaging others in conversation can help change perception, create a support network you didn't realize was there, and help you find a resolution. Here are some "Fast Facts" about infertility.
Visit "Get Involved" for more volunteer ideas.

Impact Your Community.  Because 1 in 8 is someone you know.
