The Seleni Institute is a New York City–based nonprofit dedicated to improving mental health care for women and families at every stage of life, from fertility and pregnancy to parenting and beyond. The Seleni Institute is a nonprofit organization that was founded by Nitzia and George Logothetis in 2011 to destigmatize and transform mental health and wellness by addressing real-life issues that challenge the emotional health of women, men, and their families.

As the Seleni Institute marks 15 years of advancing women's mental health, we are proud to welcome two new members to our Board of Directors: Margaret Boyden, licensed clinical social worker, and Shani Lehrer, leadership adviser and founder of Sound Sanctum.

We also want to take a moment to honor our co-founder George Logothetis, who steps down from the Board after 15 years of dedication, vision, and unwavering belief in this mission. His support for Seleni's work has been foundational, and it continues.

This October, Seleni takes its next step, launching a new Peri/Menopause and Mental Health curriculum, equipping clinicians and healthcare providers with the knowledge and tools to support women through one of the most overlooked transitions in women's health. 🧠

The menopause transition is one of the most significant shifts in a woman's life, and one of the least addressed in clinical training. That is about to change.

Launching soon in partnership with the National Menopause Foundation, "Mental Health and the Menopause Transition: An Introduction" (1 CE) gives clinicians a comprehensive foundation in the stages of menopause, the physical and mental health symptoms that can emerge, and both hormonal and non-hormonal treatment options, so you can show up fully for your patients navigating this transition.

When women are supported, communities thrive. 💙

On World Mental Health Day, we pause to reaffirm what drives everything we do at Seleni. Mental health is not a side conversation. It is at the center of women's lives, families, and the generations that follow.

Every woman, at every stage of life, deserves access to care that sees her fully.

Women in perimenopause are 40% more likely to experience depressive symptoms than premenopausal women. Yet menopause mental health remains an emerging specialty, and few clinicians have had dedicated training to recognize and treat what their patients are experiencing.

At Seleni, we believe mental health should be valued just as much as physical health. As clinicians, it's essential to look beyond the physical symptoms and support women through every stage of reproductive life, including the menopause transition.

That's why we're introducing "Mental Health and the Menopause Transition," the first module in our new peri/menopause series, in partnership with the .

This evidence-based training will help mental health professionals:
✔️ Understand the stages of the menopause transition, including premature and medically induced menopause
✔️ Recognize common physical and mental health symptoms
✔️ Explore how history and culture shape women's experience of menopause
✔️ Navigate hormonal and non-hormonal treatment options

🗓️ Launching October 21. Stay tuned!

For the first time in history, Congress held a hearing on menopause. 🏛️

Menopause affects over half the population, yet less than 1% of federal women's health research funding goes to it, and 80% of OB-GYN residents say they feel unprepared to discuss it with patients. Too many women are left without answers or care.

Senators Kirsten Gillibrand and Rick Scott are now asking for a federal review of how menopause research and care are funded, a step toward closing a gap women have lived with for far too long.

At Seleni, we're doing our part. This October, we're launching our Menopause Mental Health Curriculum to help providers better understand and respond to the mental health needs of women in midlife. When clinicians have the right knowledge and tools, they can provide more informed, comprehensive care.

It's time to stop treating menopause as something to endure in silence. 💙

This week, Seleni Executive Director Seema Bajaj (Seema Bajaj) attended the 2026 Global Summit on Women’s Mental Health, Spark Something Beautiful, hosted by kate spade new york.

The summit brought together leaders, advocates, and changemakers from across sectors, all united around a shared belief: that women’s mental health deserves to be taken seriously, invested in, and talked about openly. From policy to clinical care to community, the conversations happening in rooms like this one are part of what moves this work forward.

For Seleni, showing up to these spaces matters. Because the more women’s mental health is part of the global conversation, the closer we get to the care, the resources, and the change that women deserve. 🤍

Menopause is often discussed in terms of physical symptoms. But the mental and emotional impact can be just as significant. 💙

Seleni's Executive Director Seema Bajaj and Dr. Mary Riddle, lead instructor for Seleni's new Peri/Menopause Mental Health Curriculum, recently joined host Claire Gill (National Menopause Foundation, Inc. ) on The Positive Pause to talk about why mental health needs to become a bigger part of perimenopause and menopause care.

From how this transition can affect a woman's sense of identity, to why workplaces need to make menopause speakable, to how better education can help both women and the providers who support them, this is a conversation worth hearing.

September is PMOS Awareness Month, and the mental health impact of this condition deserves far more attention than it typically receives. 💙

Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS) is one of the most common hormonal conditions affecting women of reproductive age, yet its emotional and psychological impact is rarely part of the conversation.

Research shows that women with PMOS are three to eight times more likely to experience depression and anxiety than women without it. Every woman living with PMOS deserves care that sees the whole picture.

At Seleni, we are committed to ensuring that women receive the comprehensive, compassionate care they deserve. Learn more at seleni.org.

Great Britain has taken a historic step for pregnancy loss, and we think it is worth talking about. 📰

Starting April 2027, employees in England, Scotland and Wales who experience a pregnancy loss before 24 weeks, including after an unsuccessful IVF embryo transfer, will have the legal right to up to two weeks of unpaid bereavement leave. The right extends to partners, the other biological parent, and intended parents in surrogacy arrangements, recognizing that pregnancy loss affects the whole family.

Here in the US, there are still no federal protections guaranteeing bereavement leave after a miscarriage or a failed embryo transfer.

Loss of any kind deserves acknowledgment. And people deserve the time and space to grieve. 🤍
