No family is immune to mental health challenges, including queer families.  In fact, queer families are at higher risk for perinatal mood struggles for a variety of reasons including discrimination, stigma, personal mental health history, possible issues with their family of origin, conception or adoption complications, denial of parental rights, and more.
PSI offers specialized support for queer families.  We have a weekly Queer Families Support Group and a specialized Support Coordinator for members of the LGBTQIA+ community.  Please see more below.
