The Seleni Institute

About

The Seleni Institute is a nonprofit organization that was founded by Nitzia and George Logothetis in 2011 to destigmatize and transform mental health and wellness by addressing real-life issues that challenge the emotional health of women, men, and their families, including: pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, infertility/3rd party reproduction, miscarriage, stillbirth, menopause, parenting, and child loss.

We eradicate stigma by increasing the availability and accessibility of mental health care worldwide by: treating patients, training professionals, including psychologists, therapists, OBGYNs, pediatricians, nurses, and midwives, providing public programs, including new parent groups, breastfeeding clinics, and adolescent services, funding research, providing curated content online, and advocating in public and private sectors.

Seleni seeks to create a world where our mental health is valued as much as our physical health so that everyone has an opportunity to reach their potential.

You can also find online support, advice and information from award-winning health journalists, bloggers clinical experts and women who share the everyday struggles of the path to parenthood on our website.
