Press Conference related to the Mother's Act

Ivy Shih Leung, author of Ivy's PPD Blog, wrote about her experience related to a press conference for the Mother's Act. Here's a snippet and a link to the full post.
Yesterday morning, I was invited to attend a press conference at Valley Hospital in Ridgewood, NJ, with U.S. Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ), Former New Jersey First Lady Mary Jo Codey, Audrey Meyers, President of Valley Hospital, Dr. Fred Rezvani, Chair of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Sylvia Lasalandra, author of A Daughter’s Touch, and Susan Dowd Stone, Chair of the President’s Advisory Council for Postpartum Support International.

The press conference was held to discuss how passage of the Melanie Blocker Stokes MOTHERS Act (S324) would benefit thousands of mothers in this country each year through an increase in public awareness, education and support services... Here's the full POST.

Here's Susan Dowd Stone's post on her experience as a participant in the press conference.
