JOIN PREGNANCY AND POSTPARTUM SUPPORT MINNESOTA’S BOARD

Pregnancy and Postpartum Support Minnesota (PPSM) is a statewide non-profit committed to raising awareness, providing support, training and advocacy for perinatal mental health conditions.

We are in a unique space to grow our board and our programming in the coming years. Much of the board work will include setting up infrastructure and strategic planning as well as leading community assessment efforts through survey and focus groups. If this sounds exciting to you, we’d love to have you join us!
