What to Expect

90-Minute Groups

Our groups are 90 minutes (1.5 hours) in length. The first ~30 minutes is spent providing information, education, and establishing group guidelines. The next ~60 minutes is “talk time,” in which group members share and talk with each other.

Safe & Confidential

Student and clinical observations are not allowed in our group spaces due to confidentiality and creating a safe space. Group members must be present for the group guidelines before joining the discussion.

Trained Peer Facilitators

PSI groups are led by trained peer facilitators who have completed comprehensive training and understand your experience. These facilitators guide discussions and create safe, supportive environments for Help Seekers to share and connect with others on similar journeys.

No Waitlists

We allow up to 16 group members to enter each group, so please arrive on time to get a spot. Once we reach 16 members OR we have started talk time, the group space will be closed.

Technical Requirements

• Cameras are required during introductions for the safety of all group members
• Sessions take place via Zoom from the ShareWell website
• Make sure your device is compatible with the Zoom app

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between PSI and ShareWell?

Postpartum Support International (PSI) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping families suffering from perinatal mental health issues. ShareWell is the technology platform that hosts PSI's online support groups. When you join a PSI group on ShareWell, you're accessing PSI's expert-designed programming through our secure, user-friendly platform.

Who leads PSI support groups?

PSI support groups are facilitated by trained peer supporters who have lived experience with perinatal mental health challenges. These facilitators complete PSI's comprehensive training program and understand what Help Seekers are going through because they've been there themselves.

Are PSI groups really always free?

Yes, absolutely! All PSI support groups on ShareWell are 100% free forever. There are no hidden fees, no credit cards required, and no paywalls. PSI believes that Help Seekers should have access to support regardless of their financial situation.

How many people can join each group?

Each PSI group accommodates up to 16 Help Seekers. Groups fill on a first-come, first-served basis, so we recommend arriving on time. Once we reach capacity OR talk time begins, the group will be closed to new participants for that session.

How is my privacy protected?

PSI groups maintain strict confidentiality guidelines. What's shared in the group stays in the group. No student or clinical observations are allowed, and all participants agree to group guidelines before joining the discussion portion of each session.
