BECOME A PSI COORDINATOR!

20170715_105832.jpgPSI Coordinators are volunteers in each state and countries around the world who help bridge the gap between families struggling with Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders and the care and resources they need to recover.  As a volunteer PSI Coordinator, you provide this connection by finding the treatment and support resources needed for families and providers who contact you. Families identify PSI Coordinators in their state through the PSI or PSI CT websites or by a PSI Helpline volunteer. 

We currently have five volunteers in this role here in Connecticut and we need help to manage the increased volume of texts/calls/emails we are receiving as awareness grows bringing moms out of the shadows and into the arms of treatment and care providers.

Our goal is to have two PSI Coordinators in each county.  At present, we do not have any coordinators in New Haven, Fairfield, Litchfield, Tolland or New London Counties. 

If you are interested in learning about the PSI Coordinator role, you can contact PSI CT Coordinator Jen Vendetti  who can provide information and direct you on next steps.
