Is Suicide Preventable? Is it 100% Preventable??

By Abigail Burd|2019-11-18T14:30:59-08:00August 16th, 2014|Categories: Blog, Giveaways/Free Resources, Mental Wellness|Tags: mental health, postpartum depression, san diego resources|4 Comments

Suicide has been in the news a lot this week with the sad passing of Robin Williams. People from all walks of life have been surprised to learn how much the death of an actor has affected them. This week, and perhaps for another week more, the media will talk about depression, mental illness and suicide prevention.

I have worked for a community college mental health counseling center since 2007. In addition to working one on one with students, we work on a campus-wide basis to raise awareness, fight stigma, and promote mental wellness. Typically in any given year, we also sponsor one or two fairs around wellness. During National Suicide Prevention Week (the 2^nd week of September) we often hold suicide prevention […]

Giveaway: Ergobaby Wrap for Babywearing

By Abigail Burd|2019-11-18T14:31:01-08:00June 16th, 2014|Categories: Blog, Giveaways/Free Resources|Tags: contest, giveaway, promotion|11 Comments

I am very excited to host a great giveaway! In partnership with my Baby Birds Farm and Cocina, I am raffling off an Ergobaby Wrap. I believe firsthand in the benefit of keeping baby close and wearing a them in a hug. Babies that are kept close to parents (both moms and dads) are calmer, happier and easier. Wearing them keeps your arms free, and if ergonomic, is much better for your back. For more tips on how to prepare for an easy postpartum time, please see this post on finding your circle of support.

For the parents that already love babywearing, […]

Pregnancy and the postpartum stage are times of major changes: physically, emotionally, socially, professionally, hormonally…. you get the idea… just about everything is shook up. Anxiety and the blues are common. But when is it more than just baby blues???
