The Lindsay Clancy case raises difficult questions, and reminds us that postpartum mental health deserves compassion, attention, and care.
Postpartum mood and anxiety disorders can persist beyond six weeks and may appear months after birth. People need responsive care, fewer barriers to treatment, and greater investment in perinatal mental health.
Watch and share this video to help educate our communities about what support is needed.

The presence of my book in Lindsay Clancy’s home has been treated as a clue. It isn’t one. Neither is the content of a frightening thought.

Judy Pasdach, LCSW, supporting our community and families🫶

https://www.judypasdach.com/

**Free Community Yoga on the Dock returns Friday, September 4, from 6–7 pm—and this month, a familiar friend is helping us keep it free.**

We’re so pleased to welcome back **Judy Pasdach, LCSW**, who is sponsoring Community Yoga on the Dock for the **second time**.

One of the things we love most about this program is that it creates connections in more ways than one. You get an hour outside, on our beautiful low dock on the Petaluma River, to move, breathe and spend time in community—and we get to introduce you to local wellness professionals who are doing meaningful work right here in Petaluma.

Judy is a California Licensed Clinical Social Worker supporting parents during the birthing years, including those navigating **perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, pre-term and medically complex births, and the NICU journey**.

She offers an integrative, mindfulness-based approach as well as EMDR therapy, with both in-person and video sessions available.

By sponsoring Yoga on the Dock, Judy makes it possible for us to offer this community gathering at no charge—and helps us build the kind of community we want The Floathouse to be part of: one where people know what resources are around them, know one another, and feel supported.

**Thank you, Judy, for showing up for this community again. 💙**

🧘 **Free Community Yoga on the Dock**
📅 Friday, September 4
⏰ 6–7 pm
📍 The Floathouse Petaluma: On docks accessible from 222 Weller Street by The River House, and 60 E. Washington Street, by Baskin Robbins in River Plaza.

**Free, but you must register to join.** LINK: https://book.peek.com/s/b76ef819-32fe-4f61-a8f5-8c31cf4edd7d/8WAjk

Learn more about Judy and her practice at **[www.judypasdach.com](http://www.judypasdach.com)** or call **(415) 312-1176**.

Words of Wisdom from Dana Levendoski

Today’s reminders come from Dana, a licensed clinician in our network, sharing honest insight and support for moms navigating the perinatal journey.

Even when a postpartum mom doesn't feel good - even when her symptoms are severe - she can often muster the energy to do what needs to be done. She can care for her baby, go to work, make dinner, answer the questions, and keep moving through the day.

Her functioning can be misleading to those around her. Others may see what she's accomplishing and assume she's okay.

She can be deeply distressed and still be a capable, loving, competent mother.

Both can be true at the same time.
