Today we had our first meeting for the Society of Fertility Awareness Education here at UT Southwestern in Dallas, TX. At the last minute, we decided to meet at a couple’s house instead of up at school - sure enough, there happened to be some kind of race going on in the middle of downtown and practically every possible road to their apartment complex was blocked off at the exact time of our meeting! After we finally all gathered there an hour or so late, the symbolism really hit us. We realized that while there may be many obstacles and delays in getting this group off the ground, we can’t give up just because of a few little “road blocks” in our way.
Tonight we discussed lots of information vital to the vision for our group. We talked about the overall goal we want to accomplish – to provide accurate education about fertility awareness methods to medical and allied health students who will eventually be equipped to share this information with the community with knowledge and confidence. We realized the great number of supporters we have in the community and beyond, from physicians to physician assistants to fertility awareness method instructors. We also decided to come up with a survey to send to UTSW students to gauge their interest in and knowledge about fertility awareness methods. We’ll see how it goes!
