Hi,
I came across Lucine Health Sciences while searching for groups to reach out to about postpartum depression awareness. The wonderful information, resources, and support that you provide for the online community is truly quite remarkable!
I’m Jenna Carberg and I helped create PostpartumDepression.org after I was diagnosed following the birth of my first daughter, Elsie. I struggled with PPD the following year and a half and it was the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through. One recent study found that 600,000 women are diagnosed with postpartum depression every year. I’m deeply passionate about spreading the word and helping women get the care they deserve and providing their loved ones with the support that they need.
Browsing through your site, I noticed you have a link with some postpartum-related resources, here – http://www.hormonesmatter.com/resources-postpartum-depression/. I think our website would be a valuable educational resource for your users. Would you mind including our link as well?
Warmly,
Jenna Carberg
