Mental Health Literacy Continues: Lauren Hale on PPD

Thursday March 1 at 8pm ET/ 6pm MT/ 5pm PT, please join #hchlitss as we continue our series on mental health literacy with our guest @unxpectedblessing, Lauren Hale.  Lauren Hale has been blogging for five years on the topic postpartum mood disorder.  She hosts #ppdchat, a tweetchat specifically for women suffering from ppd and for those who have survived ppd and is starting a chat for professionals involved in treating women in ppd.  As she eloquently states, she blogs and tweets about ppd "because when I was clawing my way out of the dark rabbit hole into which I fell, all I wanted was another Mom to tell me everything would be okay. I needed to hear that I wasn’t alone. I needed whispered words of hope in the wee hours of the night. I needed to NOT be alone in that dark damp hole."   Her blog is titled "My Postpartum Voice".
