I was ashamed of my prenatal depression

#MyWishforMoms is that there is less of a stigma around mental health issues. I wish that all women know you aren’t alone. If you have feelings of worry, sadness, are having trouble sleeping or are struggling in any way don’t blame yourself. You don’t have to be ashamed of your feelings. You don’t have to struggle, especially on your own. With a little help, I promise you will feel better.

New Study Says Sunscreen May be Causing More Harm Than we Thought

For years we have been told to slather our kids with sunscreen before heading outdoors. But Monday, a new study by the Food and Drug Administration revealed chemical levels that far exceeded the FDA-set threshold were absorbed into the human body just one day after use.

Organized by Community Foundation of Orange and Sullivan, in collaboration with the Mid-Hudson Valley Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals, #HVGives is a fun and focused 24-hour effort to raise funds and awareness to support LOCAL nonprofits and charities and make our region a a better place to live, work and play. Support your favorite charity on Wednesday, May 15 from 12:00am - 11:59pm! www.hvgives.org
