Our Mission:

Members of Postpartum Support of Oklahoma (P.S.O.) are dedicated to supporting new mothers and their families by providing telephone and e-mail contact, educating families and providers about prenatal and postpartum mood issues, and developing a referral network so that the bond between parents and children may be enhanced.

Approximately one in six new mothers experiences emotional distress during the year following giving birth. About one in five women feels anxious or depressed during pregnancy. We believe that mothers need education and easy access to resources. In addition, it is often helpful to be able to speak with other mothers who have been in their position.

In order to establish these supports and form links to professional services, families and the providers who care for them need to be aware of information networks which exist nationally, statewide, and within communities. We are the Oklahoma branch of Postpartum Support International (P.S.I.), an information clearinghouse which shares resources about postpartum depression, anxiety, and other mood issues.
