Featuring Robert H. Stewart, M.D., Shari DeGraff Stewart, M.Div and four infertile couples who share their stories to help others, in the realization that only those who have experienced the infertility struggle can truly understand and express it.
A portion of the sale of this DVD is donated to  whose mission is to provide timely, compassionate support and information
to people who are experiencing infertility and to increase awareness
of infertility issues through public education and advocacy.
It’s not just a medical issue. It’s a deeply emotional experience that confronts both partners in a relationship, threatening their self-esteem as individuals,
challenging the strength of their commitment to one another, and often overshadowing everything else in their lives.
Couples dealing with infertility face not only the month-to-month effort to conceive, but the day-to-day struggle to hold themselves and their relationship together.
The Stewart Institute for Families has developed a DVD which you can view together in the privacy of your home. While many resources offer information
about procedures and medical issues, this DVD is the first to focus on the emotional and psychological aspects of infertility. In interviews with four infertile couples, the Stewarts illuminate strategies for coping with the many impacts of infertility and ways to preserve the intimacy and health of your relationship.
Realization • Fear & Anxiety • Depression • Anger • Grief
Loneliness • Guilt & Shame • Marital Impact • Friends & Family
Spirituality • Procedural Impact • Alternatives • Finality
Secondary Infertility • Coping Strategies
Services
For private clinics or practices, hospital education departments, organizations,
and any other groups dealing with infertile couples, the Stewarts extend their counseling practice and the efforts of the Stewart Institute for Families by accepting speaking engagements. The combination of their personal
experience and their years of infertility counseling provide them with a unique depth of understanding, knowledge, and empathy for couples struggling
to conceive.
Both are experienced and accomplished public speakers, comfortable presenting in lecture formats or in small group, open forum sessions. They are available to speak either individually or together.
