Resource List

At PPSM, we are working to break the silence and stigma associated with mental health during the perinatal period. We are revamping our community resource list of support organizations, mental health providers and prescribers, and integrative health providers, including chiropractors, acupuncturists, midwives, and doulas. Our providers are here to listen, to support you, and to help guide you in your recovery.

Minnesota's Professional Directory

One benefit of membership with PPSM is a listing in the Minnesota Professional Directory, a robust directory of experts with training and experience working with individuals experiencing PMADs (perinatal mood and anxiety disorders). Our directory is an easy place to find clinicians who can help with: mental health (therapy and psychiatry), birth and postpartum doula care, breastfeeding medicine and lactation support, and more.
