Happy Women’s Equality Day!
Today, on August 26, we honor the anniversary of the 19th Amendment granting women the right to vote—a monumental milestone in the fight for gender equality.
But equality isn’t just legal or political—it’s deeply personal. When women have equal access to opportunities, support, and respect, it directly uplifts their mental health. Studies show that gender inequality often results in heightened stress, anxiety, burnout from juggling multiple roles, and feelings of inadequacy.
Women’s Equality Day is our invitation to raise awareness, break stigma, and create environments where everyone’s mental wellness is valued. Building strong support networks and promoting self-care and self-compassion aren’t just nice—they’re necessary for resilience.
Today, we also celebrate the compassionate leadership at Mind, Body & Soul Wellness Center. Meet our leadership team—committed, empathetic professionals driving our mission to empower all individuals through holistic mental health support:
Madeleine DiLeonardo, M.Ed, LPC, NCC, CCATP - Executive Director
Nina Kamelia, LCSW, LCADC, CCTP - Clinical Director
Samantha Wurst, MA, LPC, CCATP, CMIP - Director of Operations
Elizabeth N. Ealer MA, LPC, LCADC, ACS- Director of Staff Development
Under their guidance, our practice fosters environments where women's voices are heard, well-being is prioritized, and healing is embraced. On this Women’s Equality Day, let’s commit to mental health equity—because when women thrive, we all prosper.
