Verdi discovered a love of writing due to the praise and wonderful approach of her fifth-grade teacher. She left writing behind for a while and entered the world as an adult, where, through a twist of fate, she wound up on the hit show Bridezillas for season 13. Now as a married mom she’s stepping back into the writing world to cover important topics that need to be addressed more and destigmatized. Verdi currently resides in Northern Virginia with her wonderful husband and adorable children. She hopes to pave a way for women to discuss uncomfortable but vital conversations. Writing about postpartum depression gives her the opportunity to not only educate others, but to offer a safe space for those worried about being judged, misunderstood, or who are otherwise afraid of facing this misinterpreted serious health concern. She hopes her message of hope will inspire those who need it most and that she’ll help change the lives of women who deserve better than to suffer in silence.                                                  Country: USA

Sport in Mind ® is an award winning mental health charity (unaffiliated to Mind and not part of the local Mind network) that was formed in Reading, Berkshire in 2010 with a simple mission:

“To improve the lives of people experiencing mental health problems through sport and physical activity”

We are the UK’s leading mental health sports charity and deliver physical activity (sport, walking, dance and movement, gardening and exercise sessions) projects in partnership with the amazing NHS in order to aid recovery, promote mental wellbeing, improve physical health, combat social isolation and empower people to move their lives forward in a positive direction.

We’ve seen first hand the positive impact physical activity can have on people’s mental health having supported the recovery of thousands of people each year (sporty people and people who say they’ve never previously liked sport). We believe there’s a sport or physical activity out there for everyone and Sport in Mind’s aim is to ensure every single person in the country has the opportunity to improve their mental health through a physical activity session they enjoy.

At Sport in mind, we know that having a baby is a huge transition in life- one that, unsurprisingly, makes being active even more of a challenge for many. Being active before, during pregnancy and beyond brings with it  host of mental and physical benefits, including a reduction in depression, improved emotional wellbeing and helps to reduce worry. Perinatal mental health is SO important as around 1 in 5 women will experience mental health problems during or after pregnancy.                                                                                                                                                      Country: United Kingdom
