Postpartum Support Center

Postpartum Support Center leads a community effort to prevent the suffering and mental health complications in expectant and new parents and their children in Marin and Sonoma counties. Our main goals are to help perinatal families navigate the postpartum period, reduce parental stress, build effective support systems, and prevent postpartum depression whenever and wherever possible. With the help of the PPSC, new mothers are no longer alone in their struggles. Our mission is to provide a comprehensive support system and safe place for mothers/parents and families in need and to promote awareness and prevention of Perinatal Mental Health Disorders. We strive to bridge the perinatal mental health treatment gap by normalizing and destigmatizing perinatal mental disorders. Our vision is to cultivate a supportive, stigma-free community for new mothers and families. We believe that all parents and families deserve access to high-quality care, information, and resources. The Postpartum Support Center works with hospitals, local organizations, social workers, volunteers, and other partners to enhance the way expectant and new mothers, and families navigate the postpartum period. Our programs provide support to new parents who need additional social support, information, and resources.
