Connect with PSI through the power of storytelling!
Perinatal mental health advocates share their personal journeys through pregnancy and postpartum, detailing how they found support, discovered PSI, and now help others.
Through storytelling, we bring PSI’s message to life: You are not alone. You are not to blame. With help, you will be well. Each episode affirms that Perinatal Mental Health Disorders (PMHD) affect many—and each of us can say, “I AM ONE.”
Whether you're seeking connection or a way to advocate, we offer space for both the serious and the lighthearted. There is strength in healing and power in sharing— so that's what we’re here for!
I AM ONE Podcast by Postpartum Support International
MELISSA BENTLEY, LPC, PMH-C - I AM ONE Perinatal Mental Health Nerd
On today’s episode, we’re sitting down with a longtime listener, first time caller (or … podcast guest) - Melissa Bentley. Melissa is a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas, and is thrilled to be making a difference as the Support Coordinator Program Manager here at PSI. In this role, she supports over ~475 volunteers across the US and Canada who provide Education, Empathy and Resource Referrals for new parents who reach out to PSI for help. Today we’ll hear about how perinatal mental health first showed up on Melissa’s radar as an 11-year old mother's helper and the lasting impression that that early experience made on her personal and professional lives.
