Childfree by Choice Therapeutic Support Group
Childfree by choice women are a growing group who often share similar personality and social characteristics. There is a cultural value, and one especially unique in Utah, that views becoming a mother as essential, responsible for a meaningful life, and a marker of “success”. The choice to remain childfree is often met with backlash, judgment, and a lessening of social value. This group aims to create a space for like-minded women who have made the intentional choice to not have children. Group held via Zoom.
This group is led by two feminist women who are childfree by choice and advocates of this lifestyle for other women.
Michelle Anklan, LCSW and Jessie Smith, PhD are therapists in private practice.
Our hope with this group is to create a therapeutic supportive space, led by a licensed psychologist and social worker, to provide an opportunity for women to connect, build confidence, and validation regarding their decision.

“Is having a child actually fundamentally bettering the world as a whole in any way? There is no shortage of children. Wouldn’t it be better to let people who want children have them, and leave everyone else alone?”
― Alice Minium
