Next week, our Sunday Series continues with a conversation about trauma-informed care and the journey to motherhood.

Join Liz Gray, LCSW on Sunday, 9/13 to explore how trauma can shape experiences across infertility, pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood—and what trauma-informed care can look like in these vulnerable moments.

Together, we’ll explore:
• Real-life scenarios and trauma-informed responses
• Language and strategies for responding with greater confidence and compassion
• How trauma can shape the reproductive journey

This workshop is for perinatal providers, affiliated professionals, women & birthing people, and support people.

A little behind-the-scenes work is happening over here. 🤍

We’re updating the Trauma-Informed Maternal Health Directory, and we want to make sure it reflects what families actually need.

Perinatal providers: What are your clients searching for?

Families: What do you look for when finding a trauma-informed provider?

✨ The Journey to Motherhood: An Interactive Case Study on Trauma-Informed Care ✨

What do you say when someone is navigating one of the most vulnerable moments of their life? Even the most compassionate providers can sometimes feel unsure of how to respond or what will feel most supportive.

Join Liz Gray, LCSW, for an interactive workshop where you’ll step into real-life scenarios spanning infertility, pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood. You’ll vote in real time on how you might respond, then unpack the choices together and explore what trauma-informed care can look like in practice.

💡 You’ll leave with practical tools, new perspectives, and greater confidence in supporting the people in your care.

Recent headlines have renewed attention to maternal mental health and serious conditions like postpartum psychosis.

Postpartum psychosis is a medical emergency that requires immediate treatment. It affects approximately 1 to 2 out of every 1,000 deliveries. Awareness can help people recognize symptoms sooner and connect families with lifesaving support.

If this topic feels heavy, take a moment to check in with yourself and your loved ones.

Help is available. Recovery is possible. 🤍

Black Maternal Mental Health Week is a time to amplify voices, challenge inequities, and advocate for meaningful change.

This week, we’re highlighting two powerful blog posts that explore the realities of Black maternal mental health through lived experience, reflection, and community-centered care:

📖 Advocating for Better Black Maternal Mental Health by Essie Brown shares personal insights on trauma, identity, resilience, and healing.

📖 Before She Breaks: Community Care for Black Motherhood by Arija Israel, M.S., M.Ed., LPC-Candidate, CBS, explores why community care is essential to supporting Black mothers and improving maternal outcomes.

Every story shared helps raise awareness, inspire action, and move us toward more equitable, trauma-informed maternal care.

✨Highlighting a new blog post we’re excited about! ✨

Guest writer Micah G. Shapiro, LCSW, PMH-C, explores the often overlooked emotional and psychological impact of NICU experiences on fathers and non-birthing partners.

This piece sheds light on how birth trauma, medical complexity, and extended NICU stays can affect dads too- often showing up as anxiety, hypervigilance, emotional shutdown, or disconnection. It also emphasizes the importance of reducing isolation and creating space for support, normalization, and mental health care for new fathers.
