In addition, Evelyn works in the outpatient program at The Motherhood Center which is an innovative day treatment and outpatient program helping parents with perinatal mood disorders.

Evelyn is also the mom of two wonderful boys who are now 4 and 2. One of Evelyn's sons was a NICU baby, born at 26 weeks so she understands first hand the challenges of being a NICU mom. Evelyn also serves on the Family Advisory Council for the NICU at Mount Sinai West in NYC.
