You are being asked to participate in a survey designed to provide initial market feedback for an offering from Postpartum Support International (PSI). Specifically, the goal of this survey is to identify areas of interest for a standardized test for the certification of perinatal mental health experts.  Regardless of your background, your feedback is important to us, and you have a valued role in PSI. 

Background: 

The training and certification of perinatal mental health experts poses a known challenge to the medical community for many varied and complex reasons. This survey is designed to reveal insights about a newly created certification test designed to provide a path toward broader and more standardized expert certifications in the area of perinatal mental health.

Evaluation of the proposed PSI certification test is designed to identify areas of support and pockets where additional education, research, and outreach must be investigated to consider the product viable as a long-term addition to current PSI offerings.

This certification test, which is in beta form, can be given to practitioners or professionals who have had perinatal mental health-specific training from an approved provider or organization. The same test will be given regardless of specialty area or license, and will be required to be renewed every five years. Thank you for your feedback; it is greatly appreciated. 

For questions about this and other PSI programs, please email support@postpartum.net.

Thank you,
Wendy N. Davis
Executive Director, Postpartum Support International
