🌿 This past Saturday, a team from Wilder proudly participated in the NAMI Walks event at Minnehaha Falls! The walk is an important effort to raise awareness around mental health advocacy and resources in our community. This year is extra special as we celebrate 100 years of providing mental healthcare and support to St. Paul. Together, we’re committed to building a community where everyone can access the care they need. 🩵 #NAMIWalks #MentalHealthMatters #WilderFoundation #CommunitySupport #100YearsOfCare

Our sessions delved into critical topics surrounding women, babies, and families afflicted by current birthing crises, ranging from stimulating panel discussions to engaging workshops. Thank you for being part of this important conversation and driving positive change in the birthing community! #BlackandBrownBirthingSummit #Wilder #HereForGood #Community
