- The Seleni Institute is a non-profit organization dedicated to women's physical and mental health, focusing on enhancing the quality of maternal and reproductive mental health. Founded in 2011 by psychotherapist Nitzia Logothetis and her husband George Logothetis, it is headquartered in Manhattan, New York. The institute provides health care, information, support groups, and workshops to women, men and families during the family-building years. The institute also trains mental health professionals in Perinatal Mood & Anxiety Disorders (PMADs) and Perinatal Loss & Grief. According to the institute's website, its aim is "to destigmatize and transform mental health and wellness by addressing real-life issues that challenge the emotional health of women, men, and their families, including: pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, infertility/third-party reproduction, miscarriage, stillbirth, menopause, parenting, and child loss." Its activities include treating patients; training professionals such as psychologists, therapists, OB/GYNs, pediatricians, nurses, and midwives; providing public programs such as new-parent groups, parenting workshops, and adolescent services; and advocating in public and private sectors. In 2014 the Institute inaugurated the Seleni Research Award to fund research on perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, and the following year the same grant was given out in collaboration with the David Lynch Foundation. In 2015 the institution began extending services to pregnant and post-partum teenage girls. (en)
