I have received the latest newsletter from Postpartum Support International.
It is normally available just to members but I have gained permission for you to view it here

PSI is the world’s largest non-profit organization dedicated to helping women suffering from perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, including postpartum depression, the most common complication of childbirth. PSI was founded in
1987 to increase awareness among public and professional communities about the emotional difficulties that women can experience during and after pregnancy. The organization offers support, reliable information, best practice training and volunteer coordinators in all 50 US states as well as 26 countries around the world.
Working together with volunteers, caring professionals, researchers, legislators and others, PSI is committed to eliminating stigma and ensuring that compassionate and quality care is available to all families. To learn more, visit
www.postpartum.net
I have an entry for the UK on page 9.
Maternal mental health is a global concern and is one the United Nations Millennium Goals. The more we can join together to help ease the suffering, the better.
Have a look around the website and newsletter - perhaps you would find it useful to join?
I wish them well at their conference and wish I was going! It's Yorkshire for me this summer not California!
