Rewriting the Narrative of Women’s Mental Health: Seema Bajaj on the Libra Philanthropies Podcast

We’re proud to share that our Executive Director, Seema Bajaj, recently joined Libra Philanthropies for an in-depth conversation about how the Seleni Institute is transforming mental health care for women and families.

In this episode of Rewriting the Narrative of Women’s Mental Health, Seema offers an inside look at Seleni’s unique approach, where clinical expertise meets deep compassion. She reflects on our work supporting women through fertility challenges, pregnancy, loss, and the transition to motherhood, and on how we are closing critical gaps in care to ensure women receive the comprehensive mental health support they deserve.

Drawing from both her two decades of healthcare leadership and her lived experience as a mother of four, Seema shares how motherhood has shaped her understanding of care, and why supporting a woman’s emotional wellbeing can create a ripple effect across generations.

This conversation is about more than mental health services. It’s about systems, stories, and the quiet power of showing up with empathy.

🎧 Listen now to hear how Seema and the Seleni Institute, in partnership with Libra Philanthropies, are building a more supportive and responsive world for women everywhere.
