Abide Women's Health Services

Calling all members of the Divine 9 (D9) in the DFW area! Join us for a special Happy Hour to support Abide Women's Health Services on Thursday, July 11th at 5:30pm. We are issuing a friendly challenge for each person to give 3x the amount of their organization’s incorporation year. Why 3x? Because black women are 3-4x more likely to die while giving birth. Our work is dedicated to combating this and we need your support. Let’s see who will represent and win our competition. Just so you know, our Board Chair, Dr. Trissi S. Gray Board Member Tiffany Northern, FACHE Midwife KENNASHA JENEDE JONES and Medical Assistant Janikka White are members of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated. Our Childbirth Educator Althea Hurd is a member of Delta Sigma Theta. We want to celebrate everyone’s collaborative efforts at the Happy Hour so spread the word among your frat or sorority and let’s see who wins!🏆 Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.

We absolutely loved the North Texas Nonprofit Institute Resource Fair! Shanta and Lenita learned about the many connections and vetted vendors to support our impact and mission Colton Strawser, Ph.D., CFRE, BCC Dynamic Development Strategies, LLC

More from Saturday’s class

On Saturday, Abide had the privilege of hosting Morgan, a Pelvic Floor Therapist, for an informative session on birth and pelvic floor health. Morgan shared valuable insights on: • Diastasis recti: causes and management • Postpartum pelvic floor exercises • Breathing techniques for pelvic floor health This session provided crucial knowledge for expectant and new mothers. I'm grateful for Morgan's expertise and practical demonstrations. #PelvicHealth #PostpartumWellness #WomensHealth #healthandwellness #learningaboutyouramazingbody #ThisIsAbide

Thrilled to see our clinic buzzing with activity this week! Abide dads were actively engaged, bonding with their babies and asking insightful questions about parenthood. It's inspiring to witness fathers taking such an active role. Let's continue to champion involved parenting across all genders. #InvolvedFathers #ParentingJourney #CommunitySupport"

We were honored to host our first Father's Day Huddle! We partnered with our neighbors EMPOWERING THE MASSES who prepared food bags with fresh produce and house staples, the Fade Room who offered 50 haircuts, The Kingz Boys Bike Club who bbq’d for us and Enterprise Interiors Inc who provided tool kits. The dads in our community were so happy and walked out with their haircuts looking fresh. #outreach #community #dadsmatter #connect #neigbors

Happy Father's Day! 🗞 🚨 New Op-Ed: "A Missing Piece of the Puzzle: Exploring Postpartum Depression in Fathers" I'm excited to share my latest op-ed that explores an often overlooked aspect of perinatal mental health: postpartum depression in fathers. It's crucial to recognize that fathers, too, can experience significant emotional challenges before, during, and following the birth of a child. Understanding and supporting fathers during this critical period can lead to stronger family bonds, healthier development for children, and improved mental health outcomes for everyone involved. I invite you to read, reflect, and share your thoughts on how we can better support new fathers (and father figures) during the perinatal period. #MentalHealth #Fatherhood #PostpartumDepression #PaternalHealth #PublicHealth #FamilyWellbeing

Last night we hosted our first #HappyHourTour During the tour, guests were provided their favorite beverage and each person was granted a personalized tour by a staff member. So many braved the Dallas traffic to show love and we are beyond grateful. Look at for more tour dates throughout this summer. We are proud of our renovations and want to show them off. If you would like to tour our facilities, send us a message and we are happy to schedule a visit. #SummerTimeDFW #HappyHour #MaternalHealth
