10.01.2022 Cal Volks Speaking about: What is Infertility and Assisted Reproduction Counselling and Why Would People Need It? Assisted Reproduction Counselling allows a space to reflect on a diagnosis, a recommended course of action or a negative outcome. "With a failed cycle, there is a terrible loss, but it's not a loss with any comfort of a mourning ritual such as a funeral. It can be a loss experienced under your duvet in your room. And when you have loss after loss without the appropriate level of support it can be devastating.... We need to find ways to grieve." https://www.youtube.com/watch

01.01.2022 Very pleased to be quoted in the April 2015 issue of Cosmopolitan about 1 angle of people who crowd fund infertility treatment online. "The Internet is also not a place for deep, thoughtful comments, says Cal Volks, assisted reproduction counsellor at HART clinic in Cape Town, Opinions fly fast and hard. Some people say things such as, If you cant fall pregnant, its not meant to be...Others feel wanting a child with your own genes is egotistical when there are homeless children to be adopted, particularly in a country like ours....For crowd funding, youd need to be tough enough to shut out those comments.'
