Become a Friend of PSI-MI
Becoming a “Friend of PSI-MI” is free and allows you to attend our PSI-MI meetings, participate in workgroups, and apply for our mini-grant program. We send periodic e-mails to update you about our quarterly meetings and other events. You do not need to be a paid PSI Member to join our “Friends” e-mail list, though there are many additional benefits to joining PSI.
Apply for a Project Grant
For Friends of PSI Michigan: Mini grants are available for PMAD related projects in communities throughout the state of Michigan. They are supported in partnership with the Healthy Kent PMAD Coalition. Examples of previous grants that were awarded include starting support groups and/or coalitions, developing an awareness campaign, creating websites for PMAD parents, offerings of educational trainings, etc.

2022 Capitol Climb
Join us for our annual Capitol Climb, celebrating Maternal Mental Health Month. Raising awareness for perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, The Climb brings our community together to shine a light on a darkness we often don’t speak about. Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders are the most common complication of pregnancy and childbirth.
Our goal is to educate, enlighten, and spread hope. Funds raised through this event will be used to provide scholarships for mental health and other frontline providers to attend trainings about perinatal mood and anxiety disorders and to increase access to treatment for the many families throughout Michigan affected by PMADS. Many parts of Michigan do not currently have trained providers, limiting access to help for new parents. Our scholarships specifically target providers in rural areas as well as providers who work primarily with BIPOC populations. In addition, many families in the state are either uninsured or underinsured, making access to trained professionals difficult. With funds raised, we seek to bridge the gap between families in need and trained professionals. We believe all families should have support throughout pregnancy and the postpartum period.
