Parents of babies in the NICU are at higher risk for postpartum anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Perinatal mental health matters—for both parent and baby.

Today, on World Prematurity Day, we honor the incredible strength of babies born too soon and the courage of the parents who walk this unexpected journey alongside them. 💛 From the tiniest hands to the bravest hearts, preemies inspire us every day with their resilience. We also recognize the parents, families, and caregivers who navigate the NICU, celebrate every milestone, and provide endless love and support. Your journey is seen, your courage is celebrated, and your hope lights the way. 💛 ”

Today we pause in gratitude for the brave individuals who have served our country. Your courage, sacrifice, and resilience inspire us.

We also recognize that service can leave invisible scars — and reaching out for support is a sign of strength, not weakness.

To all veterans: thank you for your service, your perseverance, and your humanity. 💙

If you or a veteran you know needs support, help is available 24/7 through the Veterans Crisis Line — dial 988, then press 1.

Today, Missy has the privilege of training the Eau Claire Police Department in Trauma-Informed Care.

Understanding how trauma impacts behavior and response helps officers approach community interactions with greater empathy, safety, and effectiveness. We’re grateful for ECPD’s commitment to learning and building a community grounded in compassion and awareness.

When we understand trauma, we change the way we connect — and that creates safer, stronger communities for everyone. 💫

November is Prematurity Awareness Month!

Many people dismiss prematurity as simply "being born early" but it is more complicated than that. The suck, swallow, breathe mechanism is actually quite complicated and challenging for babies born too early.

To the moms who left the hospital with an empty car seat...
To the moms who spent nights driving back and forth to the NICU.....
To the moms who whispered prayers into incubators.....

We see you. We see your strength. We see the heartache. We are holding space for your tumultuous journey into parenthood and we see your preemie's strength.
