National Infertility Awareness Week
APRIL 22-28, 2018
RESOLVE
National Infertility Awareness Week® (NIAW) is a movement that began in 1989. The goal of NIAW is to raise awareness about the disease of infertility and encourage the public to understand their reproductive health.
RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association founded this movement and continues to work with the professional family building community, corporate partners, and the media to:
- ensure that people trying to conceive know the guidelines for seeing a specialist when they are trying to conceive.
- enhance public understanding that infertility is a disease that needs and deserves attention.
- educate legislators about the disease of infertility and how it impacts people in their state.
In 2010 National Infertility Awareness Week became a federally recognized health observance by the Department of Health and Human Services.
#FliptheScript
This year, RESOLVE wants to change the conversation around infertility with the “#FliptheScript” campaign!
When it comes to issues around infertility and family building, let’s help the public, media, insurers, healthcare professionals and lawmakers understand:
- The scope of the problem and who is struggling to build a family.
- There are many barriers for millions of people who struggle to build a family. These barriers include: lack of insurance coverage, out-of-pocket costs, faith and religion, sexual orientation, and state and federal laws.
- The impact of infertility is far reaching – it impacts family, friends, co-workers, and employers.
Get Involved with NIAW!
