Alberta Reproductive Centre unveils mural Saturday [Video]

A mural was unveiled at the Alberta Reproductive Centre Saturday in honour of Canadian Fertility Awareness Week.

The mural, made up of artwork from 10 women, was part of an art therapy initiative to help families facing infertility.

Caroline Anderson was one of two psychologists leading the session.

She said infertility can be a long, difficult process, and art can help express those feelings.

The session was also a chance for the women to find community.

“Even though everyone may be here with different reasons, they’re all here with the shared desire to become parents,” Andersen said. “There’s a very powerful moment in that, to meet others sharing the same struggle and the same grief.”
