Facing infertility and family building challenges are hard, but you don’t have to suffer alone. Join Priya for the Bloom Support Group to find community, connections and support. We will meet virtually in a welcoming atmosphere to share our individual journeys.
Priya, a program of Jewish Family Services, offers Jewish individuals and families emotional support, resource connection, spiritual guidance and financial assistance with fertility treatments and adoption.
Every story is different, and we embrace all people along their paths to parenthood. Open to anyone touched by infertility or adoption.
Note: This support group is facilitated by the Molly Hess, Priya Program Manager, who is not a mental health professional. If you are seeking mental health support, JFS can help. Contact 913-327-8250 or email navigator@jfskc.org.
