生育無「憂」— 如何提升女性生育心理健康
許多女性在生育旅程中都會面臨各種壓力，礙於個人、家庭及社會等因素，她們往往較少主動尋求協助。最近一項研究發現，對於有生育問題的女性，如多囊卵巢綜合症、不育及流產等，超過四成出現情緒困擾、焦慮和抑鬱等心理健康問題。然而， 五成以上並沒有尋求專業的幫助，情況值得關注。
在生育旅程中，如何了解自己或伴侶的心理狀況？有甚麼風險因素需要留意？如何找到合適自己的方法去照顧精神健康？若曾經歷生育的「心理損傷」事件，如不育，甚或流產，當事人或伴侶又應如何面對？家人及朋友，又可以扮演怎樣的角色？
講座目的:
• 認識與生育相關的風險因素
• 了解自己或伴侶在生育旅程中的心理狀況
• 學習如何應對與生育相關心理壓力及照顧精神健康

Journey to Wellness: Understanding and Nurturing Women’s Reproductive Mental Health
Women face various pressures during their fertility journey, they may be reluctant to seek help due to personal, family, and societal factors. A recent study found that over 40% of women with fertility issues such as polycystic o***y syndrome, infertility, and miscarriage experience emotional distress, anxiety, and depression. However, more than 50% do not seek professional help which is concerning.
How can one understand their own or partner's emotional state in this fertility journey? What risk factors should we be aware of? What is the best way I can take care of my mental health? If you have experienced psychological trauma related to fertility, such as infertility or miscarriage, how can you and your partner cope? What roles can family members and friends play in this journey?
The purpose of this public talk is to address the following issues during fertility journey:
