The Fall issue of the Clarion is wrapped up and nearly ready for bed. I am excited about this issue for a number of reasons. The submissions related to birth trauma have been outstanding – articles, birth stories, sketches, photos, and poetry. Unfortunately too many women in our organization have looked birth trauma directly in the face, but by sharing these experiences we help others recognize signs, seek and find help, and know that they are not alone.
I am pleased to announce that we are working with a small publishing firm now, Lion Prints. I met Rachell this summer at the golf club near my in-laws’ home in the Denver area. She does publicity for Red Rocks Country Club and came highly recommended by my mother-in-law. The moment I met Rachell, I liked her and knew we’d work well together. She brings a fresh eye and enthusiasm to ICAN which will be clearly seen in the Fall Clarion. She also designed the new header for the Clarion and for this blog!
Finally, I am grateful for Laura Possessky’s article on informed consent that she wrote for the Clarion.
