Postpartum Psychosis is a serious perinatal mental health disorder and medical emergency that occurs in approximately 1 to 2 of every 1,000 perinatal individuals. Symptoms can appear suddenly, change quickly, and look different from person to person.

Greater understanding can lead to earlier recognition and appropriate treatment. With the right care, recovery is possible.

Let’s Not Stop the Conversation.

If there is immediate danger, call emergency services or 988.

Another amazing support group offered by PSI ♥️

Receiving a high-risk or potentially life-limiting fetal diagnosis during pregnancy can feel isolating in ways that are hard to put into words. The uncertainty, the medical decisions, the grief... it's an experience few people around you may understand.

PSI's Fetal Diagnosis Support During Pregnancy group exists for exactly this moment. Led by trained peer facilitators, this group offers a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where expectant parents can find connection and support from others who truly get it.

✔️ Free
✔️ Confidential
✔️ Online
✔️ Open to all expectant parents (gestational and non-gestational)

Happy Mother’s Day!

Today is Birth Mother's Day: a day created to honor birth mothers and the unique, complex path they walk 💙

There is no single way to feel about this season. Some birth parents find meaning in being acknowledged on this day. Others prefer to be included in Mother's Day. Some hold both. Some hold neither. All of it is valid.

What matters most is this: birth mothers are mothers, and they deserve to be seen, loved, and supported in whatever way feels most honoring to them.

This week on the PSI Blog, Emily Morehead, PhD candidate, LPC-S, PMH-C of The Couch Therapy shares how to support the birth parents in your life and how birth parents can care for themselves during this season.

And if you're a birth mom reading this: we see you and we honor you 💙
