For Zach Kowzic, our People and Operations Manager, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) had a profound impact on his childhood, his relationship with his stern but sweet Nana, and his connection to his culture. Despite the pain and loss caused by AD, Zach found purpose in his personal experience, driving him to pursue a career in brain health. “I joined Sage to bring hope to patients. We’re deeply committed to creating a better future for the brain health community, and it’s incredibly fulfilling to know that our work can help families like mine, whose memories were cut short.” Zach, thank you for sharing your family’s story and for the dedication you bring to your work every day at Sage. Stories like Nana’s inspire our team to keep pushing forward. #OurPurposeIsPersonal #ThisIsSage

Maternal mental health affects us all, directly or indirectly, and we will continue fighting to ensure our policies reflect this reality.” Thank you, Stacey, and everyone dedicated to helping improve the standard of care for women and their families during the postpartum period.

After the birth of their daughter, Steven D'Achille and Alexis tirelessly sought help for Alexis's #postpartumdepression (PPD) symptoms. "We visited seven different medical facilities and crisis centers, desperately calling psychiatrists, leaving messages that Alexis needed immediate care." This #SuicidePreventionWeek, it’s crucial to acknowledge that #PPD is a serious medical condition with potentially devastating consequences. We are deeply grateful to Steven and the entire Alexis Joy Foundation team for their commitment to honoring Alexis’s memory and working towards a brighter future for women and their families. If you're experiencing symptoms of PPD, please reach out to your healthcare provider for support. For immediate assistance, call or text the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA (1-833-852-6262) for free, confidential help, available 24/7.

Despite guidelines recommending screening for depressive symptoms up to one-year postpartum, research shows about 75% of postpartum depression (PPD) screenings stop at 6 months postpartum. Since screening is the only way to diagnose symptoms of #PPD, timely screening at multiple touchpoints during the postpartum period is a critical first step. If you or a loved one are experiencing symptoms of PPD, reach out to a healthcare provider for support. You are not alone.
