The Power of a Personal Story: A message from PHA's President, Gretchen Maillos, LCSW, RYT
"As the President of Postpartum Health Alliance, I want to share with you the story of how I became involved with PHA so many years ago. The truth is that PHA found me in the winter of 2007, through a posting on the Parent Connection parent list serve by then President, Sharon Jones. In it, she shared the story of her own postpartum journey and how PHA had been essential to her during a very dark and difficult time. She courageously shared her experience in order to raise awareness about the painful realities of postpartum emotional health. In addition, she invited others to join the cause and support PHA, in order that it would continue to be available to others. I heard her message loud and clear and I have been deeply involved ever since. Clearly, her story made a profound impact on me, and this is why." Read the full story HERE.
