Eight months after giving birth to her third child, Danielle M., LCSW, PMH-C, experienced life-threatening medical complications following a routine procedure that resulted in an emergency hysterectomy. Her journey to motherhood had already included infertility and loss. And then, without warning, her childbearing years were devastatingly and traumatically cut short.

Years later, while enrolling in Seleni’s Perinatal Loss & Grief training (https://seleni.mykajabi.com/perinatal-loss-and-grief), Danielle realized she had never fully processed the grief and trauma of her own experience.

"It was then and there that I decided to seek my own therapy at the Seleni Institute. My life has forever changed."

Today, she shares how healing reshaped both her life and her work supporting women throughout their reproductive journeys. 💙

💙 Women are twice as likely as men to experience depression.
💙 1 in 5 women experience a perinatal mood or anxiety disorder.
💙 Nearly 75% of those who need maternal mental health care never receive it.

These numbers represent real lives: clinicians showing up, professionals challenging norms, moms demanding support, leaders pushing for change.

We see you.
We support you.
We’re building alongside you.

To the clinicians, advocates, students, mothers, daughters, caregivers, and leaders shaping the future of women’s health: Happy International Women’s Day.

When clinicians deepen their training, families feel the difference.

Take it from Haley: a Seleni student, birth doula, and Certified Lactation Counselor who is providing compassionate, evidence-based support to families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

We’re proud to train providers who are expanding their capacity to care for individuals navigating infertility, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, grief, and major life transitions.

Mental health is maternal health. Families deserve clinicians who are prepared, skilled, and grounded in evidence-based care. 💙

We’re honored to welcome Dr. Solimar Santiago-Warner, DSW, LCSW, PMH-C to the Seleni Institute’s Clinical Advisory Board. 🥳

Dr. Santiago-Warner brings over 15 years of experience in hospital-based social work, perinatal mental health, and palliative care, supporting individuals and families navigating fertility challenges, pregnancy and infant loss, traumatic birth, NICU care, and postpartum adjustment.

Her work centers grief as embodied, non-linear, and deeply shaped by identity, culture, and lived experience—and reflects the trauma-informed, lifespan-focused approach at the heart of Seleni’s mission.

We’re grateful for her voice, leadership, and commitment to advancing compassionate, equitable reproductive mental healthcare.

In December 2025, the Seleni Institute joined Libra Group and Libra Philanthropies for a multi-city visit across the Middle East to advance global dialogue and partnership around maternal and family mental health.

The delegation included Seleni Co-Founder Nitzia Logothetis, Seleni Executive Director Seema Bajaj, Libra Group EVP of People & Culture Regina Sheridan, and Libra Philanthropies Assistant Director of Communications Eva Soulia. Together, the group explored how clinical expertise, workforce training, and systems-level collaboration can strengthen mental healthcare for women and families across diverse cultural and healthcare contexts.

🔹 Doha: In Doha, we visited Hamad Medical Corporation (home to the region’s first Women’s Mental Health Unit) to explore opportunities for collaboration in clinical care and professional training. Meetings with Qatar Foundation and a visit to Educationcity.qa underscored the region’s long-term investment in education, research, and innovation.

🔹 Abu Dhabi: In Abu Dhabi, discussions with Ma'an Abu Dhabi (Authority of Social Contribution), the Office of Development Affairs, Zayed Uni and the National MS Society UAE reflected shared priorities around maternal mental health, community wellbeing, and sustainable social impact.

🔹 Dubai: The visit concluded in Dubai with meetings at the Dubai Health Authority and site visits to Al Jalila Children’s Specialty Hospital, Al Noor Rehabilitation & Welfare Association for People of Determination, and Fakeeh Health—highlighting opportunities for clinical collaboration, capacity building, and community-centered care.

We’re grateful for the thoughtful dialogue and inspired by the region’s commitment to advancing health, innovation, and social impact. This visit represents an important step toward global partnerships that strengthen mental healthcare for women and families. 💙
