Postpartum Psychosis Task Force

PSI Perinatal Psychosis Taskforce
Perinatal Psychosis Task Force

Who are we?

The Postpartum Psychosis (PP) Task Force was created in 2013 by a handful of courageous women with lived experience.  It started as a way to build a much-needed community, and it has since evolved into a dynamic platform led by Postpartum Support International (PSI), where individuals with both lived and learned expertise collaborate to advance understanding and awareness.

Our Mission

Postpartum Support International’s Postpartum Psychosis (PP) Task Force is a group of individuals with both lived and learned experience whose mission is to support those affected by postpartum psychosis through advocacy, education, and community-building.
