Mental health challenges during pregnancy often go unseen, but they’re much more common than most people realize.

From past trauma to difficult birth experiences, these moments can shape parents and families in lasting ways.

As clinical psychologists with UVM Health, Dan Mitchell and Courtney Fleisher are helping lead a shift toward more open conversations in perinatal mental health, earlier care and stronger support systems for parents and families.

“People don’t enter pregnancy as blank slates,” says Dan Mitchell, a clinical psychologist at Central Vermont Medical Center family medicine.

“Many people are already carrying stress, trauma histories or difficult relationships that can intensify during pregnancy and early parenthood. That understanding is reshaping how we support individuals and families with perinatal mental health care.”

💜 A full-circle celebration.

For families whose babies spent days, weeks or months in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Golisano Children’s Hospital at UVM Health, the annual NICU Reunion is more than a fun summer get-together.

It’s a chance to celebrate milestones, reconnect with caregivers and reflect on how far their children have come.

“The love and the care, and the support they gave, it was just incredible,” says Joe Tanguay, whose son Olly Ray Tanguay recently celebrated five years since coming home from the NICU.

The reunion has been going strong for about four decades. Lisa Gibbs, who retired in June after 43 years as a registered nurse in the NICU, returned to volunteer at this year’s reunion, held Aug. 9 at Shelburne Farms.

“The happiest day in the NICU, for all of us, is when a patient is discharged,” Gibbs says. “Families love to come back through this reunion, and it’s so exciting for us to see these kids grow.”

AI is already part of many teens’ daily lives, from school tools to search engines to social media.

For some young people, it is also becoming something more personal: a companion, a confidant or even a romantic or sexual connection.

For parents, that can be unsettling. Steven Schlozman, MD, a child psychiatrist at University of Vermont Health, says the answer is not panic, but paying attention.

“The concern is not simply that a teen talks to a chatbot. It is what happens if that relationship starts replacing the discomfort, compromise and growth that come with real relationships.”
