Partners
The Dr. Mom Foundation recognizes that there is already a lot of great work going on to support holistic health for healthcare professionals, and we’re starting with partner organizations close to us here in Minnesota. As this community grows, we’re always looking for ways to deepen our interdependent bonds with new partners. Please reach out if you have an organization you’d like to connect!
Pregnancy and Postpartum Support Minnesota.
Pregnancy & Postpartum Support MN (PPSM) began in 2006 when Suzanne Swanson, PhD, a St. Paul psychologist, formed the group with other area mental health professionals with a passion for helping moms and families. The group created the first resource list specific to perinatal mental health. In 2015, PPSM became the Minnesota State Chapter for Postpartum Support International (PSI).
We are a trusted ally for families & practitioners, providing support, advocacy, awareness and training. We are a volunteer-led organization paving the way for perinatal mental health and setting the standard for competent perinatal care in Minnesota.
Redleaf Center for Family Healing
The Redleaf Center for Family Healing offers a range of multi-generational mental health, parenting, and mind-body-spirit support for individuals during pregnancy and parenting of young children.
The Resident Integrated Support Environment
The Resident Integrated Support Environment (R.I.S.E) Program addresses the mental, financial, and physical health needs of residents by offering integrated support.
Resident and fellow physicians are at elevated risk for developing depression compared to the general population. They are also less likely to utilize mental health services. The combination of high-intensity work and long hours, fatigue, social deprivation, student loan debt, and the fear of failure is contributing to rising depression rates amongst trainees.
