Fertility treatment is rarely a straight path. Medical decisions, emotional highs and lows, and deeply personal choices often converge, yet many patients face this without the mental health support they need. 🧠💔

That’s where reproductive mental health professionals make a difference.

In our latest blog, we share why emotional support must be part of every fertility journey and how clinicians can integrate it into care.

Every fertility journey is unique—often marked by heartbreak, uncertainty, and complex decisions.

From pregnancy loss to repeated IVF failures, from surrogacy to third-party reproduction, patients need more than medical care. They need mental health support from professionals trained to guide them through the emotional weight of family building.

That’s why we’re developing Seleni’s new Fertility Coursework, created for clinicians and professionals who want to better support individuals and families through these deeply personal experiences.

✨ Stay tuned for the official launch. We’ll be sharing details soon on how to access the coursework and receive a special code for early access.

Effective communication is essential in healthcare. Difficult conversations are an inevitable, and critical, part of both healthcare and mental health practice. Take it from Samantha Rauber, LPC-S, NCC, PMH-C, a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor and Certified Perinatal Mental Health Professional ( ).

Whether it's delivering a new diagnosis, navigating end-of-life decisions, addressing patient non-adherence, or tackling sensitive topics like loss, trauma, or systemic inequities, these interactions demand empathy, clarity, and skill.

Our "Complex Conversations in Healthcare" course arms professionals with the tools to approach these conversations with trauma-informed care and compassion.

This week on Seleni Says: Postpartum Anxiety 🤰

It’s normal to focus on your newborn’s health and safety. But when that concern turns into excessive worry, racing thoughts, and fear that interferes with daily life, it may be postpartum anxiety.

Postpartum anxiety is a real and often overlooked mental health condition that can develop after childbirth.

Symptoms may include:
➡️ Racing or obsessive thoughts
➡️ Panic or constant “worst-case” thinking
➡️ Physical tension
➡️ Stomach discomfort or loss of appetite
➡️ Trouble sleeping
➡️ Avoiding people or places due to fear

Because worry about a newborn is often seen as “just part of parenthood”, postpartum anxiety can be missed.

Recognizing when normal concern becomes constant, overwhelming fixation is the first step toward getting help. 💙

This summer, we had the joy of working alongside two incredible interns, Niki and Cami, who quickly became part of the Seleni team. From supporting strategy to contributing to real-time programs, they brought curiosity, thoughtfulness, and purpose to every task.

As they wrap up their internships, we’re filled with gratitude and so excited for what’s ahead for each of them. 😊

Special thanks to the Libra Group's Internship Program (Libra Internship Program) for connecting us with such talented future leaders and supporting meaningful opportunities in the nonprofit sector.
