We're excited to share a special event coming to Athens!

Next Wednesday, November 18, Ohio University Press will welcome Dr. Kara Zivin, author of Persevered: A Maternal Mental Health Memoir, for an evening of conversation about maternal mental health, personal experiences, and the importance of breaking down stigma.

Our very own Athens Birth Circle Board President, Jessica Hall, will be joining Dr. Zivin in conversation! Athens Birth Circle has also been involved in helping plan this meaningful event, and we're grateful to be part of bringing this discussion to our community.

📅 Wednesday, November 18
🕖 7:00 PM
📍 Grover Center, Room W109, Ohio University
🎟️ FREE and open to the public!

Whether you're a parent, caregiver, birth worker, healthcare professional, or simply someone who cares about maternal mental health, we hope you'll join us.

Help us spread the word by sharing this event with someone who might be interested! 💜

❤️ Help make one of Athens' favorite summer traditions possible. Volunteer with Bounty on the Bricks!

It takes many volunteers to bring Bounty on the Bricks to life each year—and we'd love for you to be one of them!

On Saturday, August 8, volunteers will help with everything from setting up the event to greeting guests, serving dinner, plating meals, and more. Whether you've volunteered before or this would be your first time, we'll make sure you have everything you need to feel confident.

The best part? Every volunteer plays a role in helping provide food for neighbors facing hunger across Southeast Ohio.

When you volunteer, you'll receive:
👕 A Bounty on the Bricks volunteer t-shirt
🍕 Pizza for evening shift volunteers
🤝 All the training you need
💙 The chance to make a real difference while being part of an unforgettable community event

Individuals, families, businesses, clubs, churches, and community groups are all welcome!

Ready to join us?

👉 Sign up today: hapcap.org/bountyvolunteer

The days are long and the YEARS are short. The nights, however, are also long!

Infants process developmental information during sleep; this leads to an increase in night waking during developmental leaps! Your baby didn’t forgot how to sleep; they are processing new skills!

No one ever prepares you for what’s actually normal.
Breastfeeding and newborn behavior are
biological, not logical. If you're feeling overwhelmed trying to tell the difference, I'm here to help you find your flow. Often, visits are covered by insurance!

We need to talk about the “is he a good baby?” question.

Because somewhere along the way, “good” became code for sleeps through the night, settles easily, and doesn’t need much. And by that logic, half the most normal newborn behaviour on earth gets quietly filed under “bad.”

So here’s your official guide to telling the difference. On the left, all the things that get a baby unfairly labelled difficult, the night feeds, the contact naps, the 3am parties for one. On the right, actual bad behaviour. The white-collar crime. The tax evasion. The Ponzi schemes.

Notice your baby isn’t on the right side, mama. Wanting you is not a character flaw. It’s just a baby being a baby.

Tag a mama whose “badly behaved” newborn has, to date, a completely spotless criminal record. 🤍

Juneteenth was recognized as a federal holiday in 2021. June 19, 1865 marks the day when the Union Army arrived in Galveston, Texas, under General Gordon Granger, announced to the locals that all enslaved African Americans were free. While the Emancipation Proclamation went into effect on January 1, 1863, and the Civil War ended in April 1865, it took time before the end of slavery was actually enforced in resistant states like Texas. Part of a woman’s freedom was not having to nurse their owners’ babies anymore while leaving their own babies hungry.
