The Postpartum Progress blog has a great new profile on women's health advocate Helena Bradford, who founded the Ruth Rhoden Craven Foundation for Postpartum Depression Awareness in South Carolina.

Helena started the Foundation after losing her daughter Ruth, age 33, in 1999, just two and a half months after the birth of Ruth's first baby. Helena has done so much to spread awareness that the illness which took her daughter's life is VERY treatable! We just have to know what to look for, when to get professional help, and we need more resources in more communities to provide that help.
