Drake House Event

Workshop presented by Dr. Kathy Ravielle for the Drake House

Choices Atlanta's presented their third annual workshop this summer in Roswell at The Drake House which provides apartments for women and their small children.

 

Christy Merritt director of programs at The Drake House invited Choices Atlanta to provide the residents an educational talk on PMS and depression that women can face. Dr. Raviele a speaker for Choices Atlanta presented an outstanding life skills talk about the emotional highs and lows of a woman's cycle and this opened the large group of women with different thought provoking questions. In her talk she pointed out that at the young age of twenty five is when your brain is fully developed, helping them understand the why so many women can make immature choices that can cause life changing consequences.  “From talks like these women gain valuable knowledge and skills to use as they move forward and find stability for their family. The information was very timely and informative,” said Christy Merritt.

 

Dr. Raviele's message clearly helped them understand how the health of their body can influence their emotions and decisions. She encouraged them to seek advice or help from their doctor, especially when they are feeling overwhelmed with the pressures of being a single mom with children and no place to turn.

 

Dr. Raviele serves as a member of the Choices Atlanta’s Advisory Board. Dr. Kathy is an OB/GYN physician practicing in Atlanta and a nationally acclaimed spokesperson on behalf of women's issues.
