Support Groups/ Community Outreach

Hi there!
I am so glad to see this blog up! I was thinking about starting a support group for PPD and was wondering what sort of models people have used? Also, have been thinking about doing some outreach trainings in the community at Mommy and Me's or similar venues- any ideas about formats for these would be appreciated. Would love to hear what you are all doing'?

  1. I have not created a support group but have thought about it and researched it a bit. If you go to Katherine Stone's blog, Postpartum Progress you will find a 3 part series on how to create a PPD support group from February 21-23. It has some really helpful information. From what I gather creating a group seems like quite a challenge. I commend anyone who can get it off the ground! Good luck!

  2. I forgot to mention that if you go to Postpartum Support International's website and click on resources you will find the PSI Guidebook on Developing a Sustainable Perinatal Support Network in your Community...
