Marie-Claude Hamel Earns Postpartum Support International Certificate, Deepening Her Commitment to Perinatal Mental Health

Published

Canton, Michigan, 16th October 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, The journey into parenthood is often imagined as a time of unbridled joy. In reality, it is also a profound life transition that can bring unexpected emotional and psychological challenges. These struggles, particularly for new mothers, have long been overlooked. According to Postpartum Support International (PSI), about 15% of new mothers experience postpartum depression, and up to 10% face depression or anxiety during pregnancy. These are not just statistics, they represent countless families whose well-being is shaped by a parent’s mental health.

Recognizing this critical need, licensed psychotherapist Marie-Claude Hamel has completed specialized training in perinatal mental health through PSI. This additional certification reflects her ongoing commitment to supporting individuals and families during this transformative period, helping to address the stigma and misunderstanding that often surround perinatal mental health concerns.

The Unspoken Challenges of Parenthood

Marie-Claude Hamel understands that the transition to parenthood is a monumental life event, bringing with it a seismic shift in identity, relationships, and daily life. The struggles faced  are not a sign of failure but a common and treatable aspect of the perinatal experience. Her practice has long been a sanctuary for those dealing with personal challenges, relationship issues, and trauma. Now, with specialized training through PSI, she brings an even greater depth of knowledge to her work with new parents, addressing issues that are too often stigmatized and misunderstood.

Bridging Psychodynamic Insight with Perinatal Expertise

Marie-Claude’s therapeutic work is rooted in psychodynamic therapy, a perspective that understands how our past experiences shape the present. This approach is particularly valuable in the perinatal period, when the arrival of a child can surface unresolved issues from one’s own childhood, evoke past traumas, and test even strong relationships.

By helping clients recognize and work through these patterns, Marie-Claude supports parents in creating a healthier foundation for themselves and their families. She integrates psychodynamic principles with trauma-informed practices such as EMDR and resiliency-building techniques, acknowledging that trauma can arise not only from major events but also from repeated experiences of neglect, criticism, or abandonment.

Her PSI training deepens this integrative approach, adding specific knowledge of the unique emotional and psychological challenges that can arise during pregnancy and postpartum.

A Mission of Awareness, Prevention, and Treatment

Postpartum Support International’s mission is to promote awareness, prevention, and treatment of perinatal mental health issues worldwide. By aligning with this global organization, Marie-Claude Hamel joins a network of dedicated professionals committed to ensuring every woman and family has access to the support they need. PSI’s vision of universal access to information, social support, and informed professional care resonates deeply with Marie-Claude Hamel’s own commitment to her clients.

Her expanded expertise allows her to address the full spectrum of perinatal mental health concerns, from anxiety and depression to the more subtle feelings of being “not yourself” that many new parents experience. She provides a safe, non-judgmental space for parents to voice their fears, process their emotions, and develop coping strategies to navigate the overwhelming yet awesome journey of parenthood.

Creating a Future of Connection and Resilience

The work of a psychotherapist is to help people build lives filled with connection, resilience, and fulfillment, and for new parents, this work is especially critical. A parent’s emotional well-being has a profound ripple effect, shaping the atmosphere in which a child grows.

Through her PSI training, Marie-Claude Hamel is continuing her dedication to guiding parents through the emotional complexities of pregnancy and early parenthood. Her approach goes beyond treating symptoms; it focuses on empowering parents, helping them reconnect with themselves and their partners, and ensuring that the transition into parenthood is supported and understood.

Rather than claiming to break new ground, this achievement reflects Marie-Claude’s commitment to expanding her skills to meet families where they are, with compassion, insight, and evidence-based care.

FastX Announces Its Launch, a New Generation Global Trading Exchange

Published

April 24, 2026

By

New York, NY – FastX today announces the official launch of its platform, a next-generation exchange built for professional and active traders who require institutional‑grade tools without surrendering custody or control of their assets. FastX goes live globally on 5 May, with traders able to access the platform directly at fastx.co.

FastX combines deep on‑chain liquidity, multi‑asset perpetual futures markets, and an advanced copy-trading engine designed to bridge the gap between traditional finance and the decentralized digital asset ecosystem. By leveraging blockchain technology, the platform delivers low‑latency mirroring of trades across major decentralized networks worldwide—while keeping users in full control of their own wallets and risk.

“FastX was created by traders for traders,” said Adelene, Chief Executive Officer of FastX. “We’ve spent our careers on Wall Street desks and in crypto markets, and we’ve seen the same problems repeat: opaque execution, misaligned incentives, and copytrading systems that ask users to blindly outsource decisions. FastX is our answer—a decentralised, transparent infrastructure layer where traders keep custody, and technology works to augment, not replace, their edge.”

Backed by a team of veteran traders with more than 50 years of combined experience across top Wall Street institutions and leading crypto trading firms, FastX is built from the ground up as a decentralised protocol. Users connect their own wallets, maintain self‑custody at all times, and interact with smart contracts that execute trades on‑chain, rather than relying on a centralised broker or custodial exchange.

At launch, FastX will offer:

  • Deep, on‑chain liquidity across a wide range of perpetual markets, designed to support serious position sizes with tight spreads and minimal slippage.
  • A fast, intuitive trading interface accessible directly via fastx.co, allowing traders to plug in with their preferred wallet and start trading in minutes.
  • A transparent affiliate and points system that shares a meaningful portion of platform fees with the community and rewards traders and partners who help grow liquidity and volume.

The flagship feature of FastX is its next‑generation copytrading system. Unlike traditional social trading products that mirror orders on a single venue with unpredictable delays, FastX’s engine is designed to route and synchronise copy trades across major decentralised exchanges, layering those capabilities on top of FastX’s own liquidity.

The result is a copytrading experience that aims to:

  • Minimise latency between lead and follower execution.
  • Mitigate structural risks such as slippage, desync, and obvious forms of manipulation.
  • Exploit decentralised advantages, such as transparent on‑chain track records and programmable risk controls, without turning the platform into a centralised black box.

“Copytrading has always been typecast as a blind, autonomous disaster waiting to happen,” Adelene added. “FastX takes the opposite stance. We use technology to bring more transparency, not less—on‑chain track records, built‑in risk parameters, and infrastructure that reduces front‑running and execution games wherever possible. Over time, our goal is to layer AI‑driven intelligence on top of this foundation so that users can benefit from advanced analytics and risk management, rather than just ‘follow and hope’.”

FastX is currently seed‑funded by a network of angels deeply embedded in the global crypto trading ecosystem. These backers share a common view that the next generation of markets will be built on open, verifiable rails and that traders deserve better, more transparent instrumentation for expressing and managing risk. FastX is assembling a strong advisory board of experienced traders, market makers, and technologists to guide the exchange through its next phase of growth.

As a decentralised protocol, FastX does not take custody of user funds and does not operate as a traditional broker. All positions, liquidations, and fee flows are visible on‑chain, giving traders clear, verifiable insight into how the system behaves under all market conditions.

“Our vision is simple,” said Adelene. “We want professional‑grade perpetuals and intelligent copytrading to live where they belong: on transparent, decentralised infrastructure, not in a black box. Launching FastX on 5 May is the first step. From here, we’ll continue to ship faster execution, smarter tooling, and AI‑enhanced copytrading that helps traders survive and thrive in 24/7 markets.”

Traders can learn more and access the exchange at https://fastx.co.
