We hope it is feeling like spring where you are! Here at Seleni in New York, we are marking many awareness moments in March. We're joining others in "Celebrating Women Who Tell Our Stories" for National Women's History Month. When women tell their maternal mental health stories, it helps and uplifts us all.
It's also Social Work Month, so you'll hear from some of Seleni's social workers on their thoughts on the profession and what they love most about their work.
During Pregnancy After Loss Month, we recognize the challenges individuals growing their families face after a pregnancy loss. We recommend giving this article and similar ones on our blog a read.
