My psychologist colleagues surprised the heck out of me my honoring me with this award. I am so grateful to Sheila Schuster for giving me the opportunity to use psychological science to influence maternal mental health laws. And to KPA for being a wonderful group of psychologists who know how to have fun together and recognize that even adults walk a little taller with a little peer recognition. ☺️

The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act went into effect June 2024. Here is information about how this works and how it differs from FMLA and short term disability for supporting parents during pregnancy and after birth. The PWFA can especially help if your pregnancy ends without you having a baby at home. You are still deserving of work accommodations for healing.

The PWFA went into effect on June 27, 2023. On April 15, 2024 the EEOC issued its final regulation to carry out the law.

Mother’s Day is hard for some of us. Maybe we don’t feel as seen for all the hard work we put into this most important role, or we have a conflictual relationship with our mother, or we don’t have our mother in our life any longer. Know that you are seen, and not alone, and that it is ok to do whatever you need to do to care for yourself today. If you need more help, reach out - send me a message, join a PSI support group, or connect with a friend who will understand. You are worth it.
