Integrated care can make a meaningful difference for moms and families. 💛

At the Hope Horizons: Navigating Recovery for Arizona Families event, Michelle Lacy of Women’s Health Innovations shared the importance of integrated perinatal mental health care and what that support can look like in practice.

Michelle also spotlighted WHI’s Nurtured Beginnings program, which brings peer support directly into the Dignity Health Mercy Gilbert OB clinic through a co-located model of care. By connecting behavioral health, medical care, and lived-experience support in the same setting, families can receive support where they are already receiving care.

We’re grateful for opportunities to continue conversations about creating more connected, accessible, and compassionate systems of support for Arizona families. 🌵🧡

WHI is on the road! 🚐💜

Last week, Michelle Lacy helped train professionals in Indiana on Perinatal OCD, followed by training in Tennessee on Perinatal Substance Use Disorder. This week, our team is at the Strong Families Conference sharing resources and connecting with others who are working to support families in their communities.

Next up, Michelle heads to Flagstaff to deliver a keynote at the Hope Horizons Conference on the importance of integrated Perinatal Mental Health care.

Different places, same purpose: expanding education, strengthening communities, and helping families thrive. 🌿

25 years later, the impact of September 11 extends far beyond what happened that day.

For survivors, families, first responders, and communities across the country, the aftermath carried grief, trauma, fear, anxiety, and a changed sense of safety.

It also brought increased discrimination and hostility toward Muslim, Arab, Middle Eastern, South Asian, and other communities who were unfairly targeted in the years that followed.

Today, we remember those who were lost, honor those who continue to carry the psychological impact, and make space for every person whose life was changed by September 11 and its aftermath.

At Women’s Health Innovations of Arizona, we believe healing begins with compassion, inclusion, and having a safe place to be heard. If you or someone you love could use mental health support, we’re here.

Sometimes behavior makes more sense when you understand the brain behind it.

ADHD is not laziness, lack of effort, or “not caring.” Challenges with task initiation, time blindness, organization, working memory, and emotional regulation are real, and support can make a big difference.

WHI’s ADHD Coaching Program helps children, teens, and adults build practical tools for everyday life. Our coaching focuses on real-life strategies, individualized support, and skills that can help at home, school, and work.

If you or your child could use extra support, we’re here to help.

The 6-week postpartum checkup is an important milestone, but it is not the finish line. 💛

Maternal mental health can shift throughout pregnancy, the early postpartum months, and well beyond. Anxiety, intrusive thoughts, irritability, loneliness, feeling overwhelmed, or simply not feeling like yourself can show up at different points in the journey.

You do not have to wait until things feel unbearable to ask for support.

At Women’s Health Innovations of Arizona, we support women and families through pregnancy, postpartum, motherhood, and the transitions that come with it. 🌿

Your mental health still matters at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and beyond.

September is National Su***de Prevention Month. 💜

Maternal mental health struggles can be heavy, and sometimes they’re hidden behind a smile, a routine, or the words “I’m fine.”

Postpartum depression and anxiety can bring hopelessness, withdrawal, intrusive thoughts, or feeling like you simply can’t cope. Asking directly about suicidal thoughts does not “put the idea in someone’s head.” It can open the door to honesty, support, and potentially life-saving care.

If you’re struggling, you do not have to wait until things feel unbearable to reach out.

📞 Call or text 988 for the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline
🤍 Pregnant or postpartum? Call or text 1-833-TLC-MAMA (1-833-852-6262)
🚨 In immediate danger, call 911

Women’s Health Innovations of Arizona provides specialized support for pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting mental health.

A dangerous trend involving the misuse of Benadryl® (diphenhydramine) is putting teens at serious risk.

Taking too much can cause hallucinations, seizures, dangerous heart rhythm problems, loss of consciousness, and even death.

In 2025, U.S. Poison Centers reported 13,284 diphenhydramine exposure cases among teens ages 13–19.

Please talk with the teens in your life about the risks of misusing over-the-counter medications. A medicine being easy to access does not make it safe to misuse.

If you think someone may have taken too much, call Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222. It’s free, confidential, and available 24/7.

If someone is having a seizure, having trouble breathing, collapses, or cannot be awakened, call 911 immediately.

Share this. Save the number. You could save a life.
