Question 1

Are PPM support groups confidential and a safe place to come to?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. PPM support groups are strictly confidential groups. Nothing said inside of the group may be taken outside of the group. If confidentiality is breached in any way, the offending member, facilitator, or co-facilitator will be permanently removed from the PPM program. During meetings, members will be discussing heavy topics and experiences. It is up to each member to decide how much she wishes to disclose; she does not have to share anything she does not wish to share.

Question 2

What is the basis for the Postpartum Mamas Mission Statement and what does your program stand for?

Accepted Answer

PPM was formed to provide safe, confidential monthly support groups to mothers experiencing all and any struggles through motherhood including but not limited to depression, postpartum depression, anxiety, infertility, miscarriage, infant loss, pregnancy complications, parenting struggles, lack of family support, loneliness, isolation, or any of the other myriad challenges modern mothers face. This program is a support group for ALL mothers who struggle with similar and diverse experiences as mothers. Our stories are different and diverse, but our struggles and perseverance through these struggles are very similar. The goal is to unify in a supportive environment and not feel ashamed to talk about the “deep things” in our lives that can so often not be talked about with even best friends or close family members in fear of judgement or shame. Our goal is to destigmatize these experiences and bring mothers together in community to create positive support systems. All mothers are welcomed and included no matter what they are experiencing, and no matter what their journey has encompassed. Even for a simple desire to form authentic quality friendships based on trust, or release our burdens in a safe place, Postpartum Mamas is here and serves a purpose for all mothers. Together, facilitators, co-facilitators, and members work to create a nonjudgmental, empathetic, and confidential environment that helps mothers to feel heard, valued, and unconditionally supported. The vision of PPM is to increase postpartum mental health resources across the country by integrating the Postpartum Mamas program into local home groups, church’s and hospital facilities, so that all mothers have access to support within their communities nationwide. Postpartum Mamas helps to de-stigmatize Postpartum depression and associated related struggles with any correlating misperceptions that are often placed on mothers. Postpartum Mamas empowers women to be the best version of themselves with goals to make an everlasting difference in the lives of mothers who struggle with postpartum, mental health, infertility, miscarriage, infant loss, anxiety and all related struggles through parenting and motherhood for generations to come. The support group mothers have been missing is finally here. Postpartum Mamas offers support group for mothers experiencing depression, anxiety, miscarriages, infant loss, parenting struggles, grief, and blessings to share; solely to uplift, encourage, and unite in a confidential and safe environment. They say it takes a village; but our village is nowhere to be found in our modern, independent age. Our society has failed at bringing safe, effective healing environments to mothers during the most pivotal transition in her life, Postpartum. Join our movement, find women just like you with struggles just like you.

Question 3

How do I become a member of PPM?

Accepted Answer

Postpartum Mamas is excited to announce and offer free membership to all of our mothers. To become a member of PPM, you have a choice of attending a once a month or twice a month support group based upon the calendar schedule of the facilitator or facility you have chosen. In person or virtual zoom options are available depending on the availability in your local community.   Upon enrollment you receive life-time membership to Postpartum Mamas support groups as well as the PPM FB group for daily online support. 50% of all PPM donations and proceeds goes directly back to our PPM members into our Mamas Mental Health Fund to help serve our mothers with mental health needs. We thank you for any and all donations towards improving mothers mental health needs. We thank you kindly for any donation you would like to contribute to our Non-profit Organization.   The PPM nine-month Curriculum and healing module videos ”PPM Kit” are available to the facilitator for free upon enrollment and available for all mothers for $49, as optional if they wish to follow along with the curriculum during group. Members will be placed in a local support group of ten to thirteen mothers. Facilitators host and lead the support groups. Co-facilitators help the facilitators when needed, read the Preamble at the beginning of each group and host groups for the facilitator when facilitators are sick or have an emergency. We thank you to all volunteers willing to host a support group to help mothers in your area.   All members will also be required to turn in their Enrollment Form, Non- Disclosure Form, and their Informed Consent Form prior to attending or leading support groups at PPM. These can be found on the website to submit online. Facilitators receive free membership as well. Facilitators will receive the PPM nine-month program and curriculum in order to have the curriculum tools to lead their own support groups for the PPM nine-month calendar year. We kindly ask that the facilitator commit to leading these support groups for that current entire nine-month calendar year and sign required forms as well. Any following years they wish to facilitate is at the discretion of the facilitator.

Question 4

What services do I receive upon free enrollment in Postpartum Mamas?

Accepted Answer

Members receive free monthly community support from other mothers in a confidential and encouraging environment. Members receive a once or twice a month support group option to choose from. They can attend in person support groups or virtually through zoom. Members will get a chance to foster growth of friendships on an authentic and deeper level, positive coping/parenting mechanisms and skills, a chance to speak about their experiences and feelings in a space that is loving, safe, confidential, and supportive, receive holistic healing resources, handouts and journal entries, community resources during support/resource session of group, newfound hope to develop skills for mothering and parenting, personal growth in self-care techniques and healing methods, as well give and receive helpful positive and healing resources. Members will also receive access to PPM’s Facebook group, PPM Private messenger to gain daily support online. Another benefit from membership is being placed on the PPM Vocational Resource List to increase awareness of the unique vocational talents and strength each mother has in order to support, encourage and bless one another with our goals and dreams. Another benefit is sharing additional resources at the end of each support group. Some examples may include exercise classes, yoga/meditation classes, personal coaching, midwives/doula recommendations, counseling/wellness recommendations, and the potential to provide and receive these referrals or services at the end of the group to help improve members health/wellness and self-care. If or when any member is not interested in a resource or referral given at the end of group, that should be respected. Once a member, we encourage members to upload a family photo and biography of your family onto the PPM FB page so that the other mothers can get a chance to get to know who you are. There will also be a contact list given out for mothers to build friendships outside of group as well as gain more support from other moms in their community. Members will also have access to the personalized PPM Book Resource List with resources of one hundred plus books relating to our PPM monthly topics of motherhood, health/wellness, depression, postpartum depression, anxiety, positive parenting skills, motherhood, self-worth, mental health, and healing. 50% of PPM Proceeds and donations are contributed towards our Postpartum Mamas Mental Health Fund in order to further support the mothers that we serve and to giving tangible Mental Health Resources for them when in need or in crisis. We thank you for any donation you would like to contribute to our Non- profit Organization. You may donate under our donate tab.   Membership also goes toward PPM materials, brochures, curriculum, and growth of the program by supporting the ultimate vision of expanding PPM nationwide in order to positively impact as many mothers as possible and help destigmatize postpartum depression.

Question 5

How do I become a facilitator or a member/co-facilitator? How do I set up my monthly schedule? What is the maximum number of people allowed in a group? Who can help if I am unable to lead due to illness or traveling?

Accepted Answer

The first step in becoming a facilitator is enrolling in Postpartum Mamas and filling out our Facilitator enrollment form online. The Enrollment Form, Informed Consent Form, and Non-Disclosure Forms are required for you to submit online in order for you to lead a group. Once enrollment and required forms are submitted and PPM Curriculum is sent to you, we ask that the facilitator watch the “sample” PPM Support Group video in order to experience the format, structure, rules and guidelines of the PPM meeting and to understand the expectations required of facilitators to lead their own groups in the future. The PPM program will be emailed to all new members in PDF format once they enroll in Postpartum Mamas which includes the Postpartum Mamas Mission Statement, Postpartum Mamas Guidelines and Rules, Postpartum Mamas Membership Form, PPM Monthly Topics Calendar, Non-Disclosure Form, and Informed Consent Form. We ask that the Informed Consent and the Non-Disclosure form be completed, signed and turned in by facilitators, in order to lead your own group at a consistent time and location of your choice. We do ask that meetings take place in the evenings, as this seems to be the easiest time for most mothers to arrange childcare. We ask that facilitators keep the day and week of the month consistent (for example, the first Thursday of every month). Facilitators will set their meeting schedules a full year in advance. Meetings will occur every month EXCEPT for December, July, and August. Facilitators will advise Postpartum Mamas yearly of their meeting schedule so that it can be updated on the PPM website. PPM support groups are made up of a maximum of ten to thirteen members including the facilitator and co-facilitator. The facilitator will follow the PPM Monthly Calendar and nine- month PPM Curriculum to lead their support groups during the nine-month PPM calendar year. If the facilitator is sick or traveling, we ask that the co-facilitator lead group in place of the facilitator for that session and arrange to get the monthly curriculum and be prepared ahead of time for their support group. There will also be a training three times during the year for Facilitators and Co- Facilitators which will be held every September, January, and May for the duration of one hour virtually on zoom. These meetings will be grouped by each state for facilitators and each facility for facilities. Simply go to the Postpartum Mamas website and find all facilitators in your state that host a group. Connect with them through a group text or group email and decide who will be creating the yearly zoom links and a day and time during that month that works for all facilitators. Any concerns may be discussed in group and must be kept confidential.

Question 6

If I am a church, hospital or facility and would like to incorporate the Postpartum Mamas program into our facility, what is the first step?"

Accepted Answer

The first step is to go onto the Postpartum Mamas website and fill out and complete the Facility Enrollment, Informed Consent Form, and Non-Disclosure Form and submit online. Each facility will decide on integrating a once a month or twice a month support group based on each facility’s needs. They will choose the once a month or twice a month support group with different annual costs per option and table/group. Please see Facility Membership Form. Any groups needed above three groups will be free of cost. The facility will pay our annual fees notated under Facility Membership on our website, as well as a $100 required one-time Curriculum Fee for the nine-month PPM Curriculum Program, and also have access to purchase the nine Healing Module Videos for $100, or can purchase the entire “PPM Kit” package for $175 which includes the PPM nine-month Curriculum and the nine Healing Module Videos.   50% of PPM donations and proceeds are contributed towards our Postpartum Mamas Mental Health Fund in order to further support the mothers that we serve and to give tangible mental health resources for them when in need or in crisis. We also encourage facilities to adopt the same Mental Health Fund for the mothers they serve within Postpartum Mamas.   Providing childcare assistance will be at the discretion of each facility.   Within PPM support groups, members will be discussing a broad range of potentially heavy adult topics. Therefore, we require that these groups include adults only. Breastfeeding babies under one year of age are welcome only if needed. The purpose of incorporating Postpartum Mamas Program into your facility will be to provide this once-a-month support group which has the capability of growing over time depending on the needs of the members with various tables and facilitators per group, at one scheduled day and time per month only. Facilitators and co-facilitators within your facility will attend the Facilitator Trainings and meet three times a year in person or virtually on zoom, to discuss any information or concerns that need to be addressed or resolved within each group. We ask that the appropriate conflict-resolution skills are used and what is spoken about in the meetings remain confidential, following all the same guidelines in a PPM support group. These facilitator training meetings will occur in September, January, and May for the duration of one hour at a location, day and time chosen by the facility.

Question 7

The basis of the PPM Program is founded on confidentiality and active listening skills with helpful resources given at the end of the meeting. What does 'active listening skills' mean to the PPM program?

Accepted Answer

Sharing will continue in a circle as each mother who wishes to share has the chance to do so. Facilitators should ensure that each mother has the opportunity to speak without interruption, advice, or input. While one mother shares, the rest should practice active listening. Active listening requires that each person focus on listening only, reflecting, not interrupting, withholding from judgement, and then actively engaging at the end of session with any feedback or helpful resources. It does not involve giving their opinion or advice, interrupting, or engaging in off topic conversations, or engaging directly after each mother speaks. Active listening requires that engaging in resources is done after every mother is done speaking in the entire circle at the eighty-minute mark during the ten-minute resource/support time. Any mother who does not wish to share that day may of course pass, or she may simply offer a brief description of her feelings that day. Mothers do not have to share if they do not wish to share; they can simply come to be an active listener. Any mother wishing to just share her burdens not relating to the topic or question is encouraged to do so. We ask that time is respected for all mothers to share as well. We encourage mothers to share their support at the end of the meeting to anyone they feel they could support and encourage. We also encourage mothers to grow friendships outside of group while maintaining healthy boundaries of confidentiality and following the PPM guidelines.

Question 8

What are Postpartum Mamas guidelines and practices of faith when structuring and leading Postpartum Mamas Program?

Accepted Answer

PPM is founded upon Christian principles to encourage and uplift mothers throughout their journeys, and to strengthen their positive coping mechanisms and healing practices. All mothers regardless of race, socioeconomic status, religious beliefs, or background will be welcomed and supported graciously. PPM serves all mothers of diverse faith backgrounds and treats all mothers with the upmost respect, value, and non-discrimination practices. All mothers are diverse and have different faith systems and that is what makes us all unique. Talks of politics within PPM support groups is strictly discouraged. We welcome all mothers no matter what circumstances in their Postpartum journey, and no mother is excluded based on any circumstances. PPM greatly values diversity of all mothers’ backgrounds, faith systems, and experiences.

Question 9

What are the PPM guidelines when each member speaks during group?

Accepted Answer

We ask that members respect that when speaking, there be no speaking negatively about group members, friendships, spouses, or any other relationships. We remind all members that this support group is to speak about and reflect on our own personal journeys only. We strictly ask that members refrain from speaking negatively about anyone else which includes their spouses and friendships. For example, if any members are going through a current crisis or struggle in a relationship, stating that there is a struggle and requesting for prayer is appropriate. We ask that specific details that put the other person in a negative light not be shared. We are here only to encourage each other in all our relationships in a positive way, including relationships with our spouses. We ask that everyone participate in healthy boundaries when speaking about their journey and adhere to the PPM guidelines and regulations. Postpartum Mamas is not a space to entertain gossiping or speak negatively about anyone else.

Facilitator training meetings will also provide the appropriate environment to discuss any such concerns by facilitators and co-facilitators and improve support group moral.

Question 12

Accepted Answer

Please see the Monthly Topics Calendar section. We welcome your ideas to add to our pool of questions. Contact your facilitator if you would like to share; the facilitator will pass on your ideas to Postpartum Mamas.

Question 13

Why is childcare not available?

Accepted Answer

Within PPM support groups, members will be discussing a broad range of potentially heavy adult topics. Therefore, we require that these groups include adults only. Breastfeeding babies under one year of age are welcome only if needed. We feel it is important for mothers to have a safe place to come once a month where they can focus on these deeper topics and express their feelings and concerns without children present. Within PPM support groups, members will be discussing a broad range of potentially heavy adult topics. Therefore, we require that these groups include adults only. Breastfeeding babies under one year of age are welcome only if needed. If your PPM support group is within a facility, childcare assistance is at the discretion of each facility.

Question 14

If I am feeling like I am going to harm myself or others, what should I do?"

Accepted Answer

Postpartum Mamas is not trained to offer mental health assistance or counseling services. If anyone discloses intentions or desires to harm themselves, their children or others, PPM is legally obligated to contact authorities for the safety of all involved. PPM is a support group only.
