What does the grief process look like for those who are childless? In what ways does the experience of childless impact people in their everyday lives and in the workplace?

Today we will learn more from two therapists, about the childless experience. Judy Graham and Sarah Roberts will share their experiences of childlessness, and their unique approach, as grief therapists, who serve childless women.

They have worked collaboratively to identify similar threads, related to the social and cultural experiences of childless women, and will share their collective expertise around the relationship between the individual experience and the shared experience of being childless.

Through their therapy practices, professional histories, and aligned community activism, they have also worked to develop Childlessness Australia, a Childless Not By Choice (CNBC), national self-advocacy organization. Childlessness Australia advocates for the visibility, rights, wellbeing and inclusion of involuntary childless people in Australia. Sarah and Judy will share their vision, and efforts to date.
