Deciding on Going Childfree

A closed group setting to explore and navigate one of the biggest decisions you may ever take.

  • Starts 8th July, 2023
  • 4 Zoom sessions | Every Saturday 10:30 AM
  • Confidential | Small group, 6-8 people
  • 75-minute online video Zoom conversations
  • Led by Therapist- Veena Hari

Goals of the group

To parent or to not parent. That is one of the most important decisions you’ll ever make. This group is a safe place for those who aren’t sure whether they want to have kids, or not. The discussions will help you explore your own thought process. Realistically, you’ll not reach a decision in 4 weeks but will have the tools to get started.

Who is the group for?

Anybody who finds themselves juggling these thoughts – men, women, non-binary, single, married, and partnered people.

“I’m afraid of losing my partner because he wants kids, and I don’t know what I want. I think I don’t want them.”
“I’m afraid of losing my identity, freedom, and comfort if I have children. Afraid of regretting it if I don’t.”
“I’ve always wanted to have a baby, but is it even ethical, knowing the environmental and political climate?”
“I need some peace and clarity from the torture of sitting on the fence for too long.”

Kartik Truly confused

For the very first time found the validation that being confused is okay. Gave me confidence and understanding to start an objective conversation with my family.
