Did you know Black mothers are more likely to experience postpartum depression, and less likely to have access to the care they need to treat it?
(article linked in comments)

Black Maternal Health Week:
"Held annually on April 11-17th, BMHW is a week-long campaign founded and led by the Black Mamas Matter Alliance to build awareness, activism, and community-building to amplify the voices, perspectives and lived experiences of Black Mamas and birthing people.

The week is intentionally held during National Minority Health Month and begins on April 11th annually to join dozens of global organizations in marking this day as International Day for Maternal Health and Rights – an opportunity to advocate for the elimination of maternal mortality, globally.

The activities and conversations hosted throughout the week intentionally center the values and practices of the birth and reproductive justice movements."

Today is the 2026 Day of Silence. This annual (second Friday in April), student-led, national demonstration spotlights the silencing and bullying of LGBTQ+ students in schools. Participants take a vow of silence to protest the lack of safe, inclusive spaces for q***r youth.

The World Health Organization and Hope Development Practice invite you on this World Health Day to remember that science is at the foundation of ethical health practice. There is plenty of misinformation about healthcare available in the current era of AI and social media. Fortunately, professional healthcare licensure requires years of professional study, supervision, and clinical training.

Our licensure and ethics codes as healthcare providers mandate that we follow and use methods rigorously studied and supported through scientific study and development. This doesn't mean sessions are an experiment. It means the approaches we use are proven to be safe and effective.

Our clinicians utilize evidence-based practices supported by several generations of theory development. We pride ourselves on providing mental health care that is substantially supported in scientific studies for improving mental health and safety. We look forward to supporting you in your health journey.
