About PSN
The Postnatal Support Network (PSN) addresses the importance of a well-prepared and relaxing 40 day postnatal period. It is an international organisation with a non-medical and social network, informing families-to-be about this special and delicate time after birth.
PSN coordinates the demand and response of trained support via a web based service. It provides training for those interested in becoming post natal ‘helpers’ – carers who can give holistic support during the post natal period. In addition, the network is a fund for financial help for families with limited resources. And the network functions as a platform for sharing personal birth stories.
