When she reached out for help, @PostpartumVA was there. Now she's their volunteer coordinator.
Moving story of #PPD @thehill #TheHillMentalHealth. Formerly depressed mom says she wasn't asked about her own #mental health during pregnancy. "Everything was baby, baby, baby. But never Mama... wish I had been asked 'How are you doing"?

New @LENAEarlyTalk research in @JAMAPediatrics shows #screentime can cause language delays in #babies because they hear fewer spoken words from people around them. What you can do to help: durablehuman.com/BabyTalk

Study suggests that both screen time and on-screen content matter for children’s mental health. ja.ma/3ukWbxI
Riveting to see @SenatorDurbin say one-on-one directly to M. Zuckerberg @Meta how he can actually sit there @ Sen Judiciary hearing and say in good conscience platform is fine for kids' #mentalhealth. Durbin says that is absolutely not the reality.
Ugh. Really hard to hear Zuckerberg defending "plastic surgery" filters on Insta. @ Senate Judiciary Hearing: WATCH LIVE: judiciary.senate.gov/committ…
Interesting to see #tech leaders of discord, meta, tiktok, snap, X ticking off the safeguards they have built into their products, which are many. All those testifying have children, including new X leader Linda Yaccarino.
Thank you @LindseyGrahamSC for fighting for the safety of our children. Watch the Livestream NOW: judiciary.senate.gov/committ…
"You have blood on your hands...it's time to repeal Section 230" @LindseyGrahamSC castigates Zuckerberg @Meta and other leaders @Snapchat Tiktok @discord @X @Meta Watch @SenateJudiciary live: judiciary.senate.gov/committ…
Another link between #babies, #screen viewing, and development of #ASD. Watching screen video can harm their sensory systems & lead to behavior changes such as sensory seeking and lack of interaction. New in @JAMAPediatrics from @DrexelUniv School of Med: jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…

News for all @ #activemindsCon23 !
This just in @ActiveMindsCon23: Call tollfree #988 anywhere in the US not only when you, a friend, or family member have a #mentalhealth crisis, but also if you want basic mental health information and local resources. (You don't have to be actually in crisis). #health #news

Bravery and confidence @ #ActiveMindsCon23 about empowering change for youth & youth #mentalhealth. @IAmInseparable policy is: maybe we can't change #gun laws, so we advocate for ways youth can have less #mentalillness, better #MentalHealthAwareness and #mentalhealthsupport

The vast "experiment" @jimsteyer described 7 years ago is over. The results are dire #news for #babies, #toddlers. Yet, there is hope if we change our ways. Please #read and share: durablehuman.com/BabyBadNews

"Experiment" is over. New #research is here: #Screen use hurts #Babies and #toddlers. Time to pull head out of sand. Little #brains grow fast & mold to their enviro. Not enough #senses used or face2face #social interaction messes with #braindevelopment. durablehuman.com/BabyBadNews
