Trigger Warning: Birth trauma, Mental Health Struggles, Suicide, and Sexual Assault SOLACE (Severe Obstetric Laceration Awareness and Community Engagement) is a non-profit that was founded by Caroline Stadler in April of 2023. Caroline sustained a missed a 4th degree tear from a forceps delivery when giving birth to her daughter in 2022. She struggled both physically and mentally as she navigated care for her symptoms and recovery due to a lack of structured resources available in the United States. Caroline was then joined on the board of SOLACE by multiple women who had similar journeys and medical professionals who were passionate about making a change in the awareness and after care of severe tearing.
