🗓️ On September 30, Granite United Way is hosting a roundtable featuring three Seacoast Family Resource Centers (FRCs) organizations that provide critical support to working families in the region. This educational opportunity is geared towards businesses but is really for those who may want to learn more about FRCs.

💼 For employers and coalitions, understanding what these centers offer can be a meaningful part of how you support workforce recruitment and retention. Please feel free to share this event with others in the Seacoast area or those supporting Statewide work.

This is a chance to hear directly from the people doing this work, learn what resources are available, and explore how stronger family support systems benefit our whole community.

Details are in the attached flyer. We'd love to see you there.

💙 Awareness isn't the gap. Preparation is.
Screening only matters if the person holding the result knows what comes next.

💜 Maternal Su***de Awareness Day | September 10 💜

We cannot wait until a mother is in crisis to ask how she is doing.

Maternal mental health matters during pregnancy, after birth, and throughout the first year and beyond. Suicidal thoughts, severe depression, anxiety, or losing touch with reality are emergencies—and they deserve an immediate, compassionate response.

Sometimes the signs are obvious. Sometimes they aren’t.

Ask. Listen. Notice. Stay. Connect.

If you’re worried about yourself or another mom:

📞 988 — Su***de & Crisis Lifeline
📞 NH Rapid Response Access: 1-833-710-6477
📞 National Maternal Mental Health Hotline: 1-833-TLC-MAMA (1-833-852-6262) — 24/7, free & confidential

🖤🩷We see the struggle. And you are not alone in this.
Seeking help is the strongest step you can take for both YOU and YOUR FAMILY.

🖤 We can do better when we stop treating maternal mental health as something we address only when it becomes emergent.

🩷 Prevention starts upstream.

🩷🖤 Is it weird that I have a dress form coat rack at our front door dressed in 🖤🩷 Ismomok attire?

And that it’s been there since May???

She has been a conversation piece with visitors and even the electrician!

🩷🖤When we speak our stories it reduces stigma and brings us together as humans who are all susceptible to these vulnerabilities.

(In all honesty, she came to some conferences in May, and then stayed out through the summer, just in time for September Maternal Su***de Awareness😊)

It may not feel it right now…but you are becoming someone new with skills you didn’t know you had. 💙 💜It’s okay that it feels hard, too.

Whether you're having your first, second, or third child. Your journey through motherhood includes a ton of incredible changes for your body, heart, and mind. Perinatal care is not just about check-ups, it's about taking care of your whole well-being.

𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸-𝗜𝗻 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲✅: Contact one person you haven't heard from in a while and ask, "How are you really?"

The “Good Moms Have Scary Thoughts” book is one that I sprinkle about in my travels to conferences, with patients, at work, at baby showers… it is “real talk” and should have a place in exam rooms and waiting rooms, NICUs and pediatric units. 💜💞💙

The Postpartum Stress Center has normalized being able to and offers insight in plain language on “intrusive thoughts”.

💙You are not alone.

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.
