Join our PPD Forum (Smart Patients)
We’ve partnered with @smartpatientscommunity, an online forum for those affected by #PPD. You can join the community for free to share, interact, and learn from peers in a safe, supportive environment.
Facebook Group
PSI moderates a closed Facebook group, where you can connect with others, share your questions and concerns, get peer support, and offer your support to others. A closed group simply means that our administrator approves your request to join and posts are not visible to the public, only to members of the group.
