WHAT WE DO
HOW WE MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Expectant and new parents often have difficulty in finding the help they need. They may not have adequate access to social, emotional, practical, or informational support. At the PPSC, we provide the perinatal population with all of this—and in the context of a supportive community.
We offer all of our programs free of charge. Our core programs include Support Line, Postpartum Support Groups, Mom to Mom Peer Counseling, Marin Diaper Bank, The ROSE - PPD Prevention program.
We do not offer crisis management services. If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, please call 911. For additional safety information, contact the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 1-800-273-8255.
