um, tonight's webinar. Um, first of all, thank you all for joining tonight's postpartum depression webinar by the Boro Park Jewish Community Council in our effort to inform, educate, and prevent. I want to thank Jomah for partnering with us on this very important project. Um, first of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Esther Klein. I'm a birth doula and educator. Um, currently directing the Access Health Women's Division, which is a department of BPJCC. Um, being involved in women's health initiatives, specifically when it comes to pregnancy and birth, I've seen one too many women struggling with postpartum depression with very little access to the right resources, and that really pushed me to take the first steps in educating on postpartum depression and the prevention of it. Hence our webinar tonight. Um, tonight we'll have two panelists who will give be giving you information on uh, postpartum depression, whether it's for you or for someone you want to help. We'll go through uh, like a formal presentation first, and then we'll take questions the Okay, so I'm going to go ahead and introduce our first panelist Dr. Tal Weinberg. Dr. Tal Weinberg MD I'm sorry. No, our first panelist is Dr. Denise Moses. I'm sorry for that. Denise Moses MD FAC is a board certified OB/GYN.
