RMA of Connecticut, a leading fertility practice whose exceptional quality and care helps couples and individuals grow their family, is spearheading a Holidays at Home social media initiative aimed at helping those suffering with infertility during the holidays. The month-long initiative will take place via RMA of Connecticut’s social media channels beginning Monday, December 7th.
The Integrated Fertility and Wellness team at RMA of Connecticut will share a short-form video series to combat unique fertility hurdles associated with those suffering with infertility and offer tactical ways to destress, move, eat, and breathe during the holiday season. The videos will be published in a rolling manner to RMA of Connecticut’s social channels from December 7th through December 10th, with the cumulative content to be reshared on their Learning Center blog at the end of the week.
Additionally, the RMA of Connecticut-produced podcast, FertilityU, will be releasing a special multi-interview podcast on December 18th to round out the Holidays at Home event. It will feature the Integrated Fertility and Wellness experts, sharing even more tips to overcoming feelings of anxiety, loneliness, and stress during this 2020 holiday season.
“Going through fertility treatments during the holidays can be a heavily emotional experience, and with COVID-19’s restrictions on family gatherings, this experience can seem even more isolating,” says Amy Matton, Acupuncturist and Director of the Integrated Fertility and Wellness Program. “The Integrated Fertility and Wellness team at RMA of Connecticut created this campaign to deliver actionable tips to those suffering through infertility during the holidays, providing additional support they can experience from the comfort of their homes.”
