A letter, twice a month at most

On the fourth trimester, family, and the parts of motherhood people tend not to say out loud.

First word on talks and workshops

Dates, and times that make sense where you live. Members hear first.

Letters from Dr. Rati for mothers and the families around them. No more than two a month.

Which describes you?

So a letter can point you to helplines and talk times that work where you are.

We will email you a link to confirm first. Your details are never sold or shared. How we handle them.

What this is not

The letters are general information, not therapy and not advice about your own situation, and nobody watches the inbox around the clock. If you would like to talk to someone about what you are going through, you can book a session.

If you are struggling right now, please call Tele-MANAS 14416 (India, free, 24 hours), or see helplines for other countries.

Your details

  • What we keep: your email and, if you give them, your first name, the line that describes you and your country.
  • Why: to send the letters, and to point you to helplines and talk times that fit where you live. Nothing else.
  • Who sees it: Dr. Rati's team, and the companies that host this website and send its email. It is never sold or shared with anyone else.
  • Leaving: one click on the link at the foot of any letter. To see, correct or delete what we hold, write to help.doc.rati@gmail.com.
