Following the birth of her son, Liz Friedman began experiencing symptoms of #postpartumdepression (PPD) and knew she needed help. After discovering that no local support group for new mothers existed, Liz was determined to take matters into her own hands and start one herself. "Through GPS Group Peer Support, we're ensuring every mother can access the social support they need – the support I needed all those years ago." We continue to be inspired by those who are on the frontlines of maternal mental health care and are the true agents of change. Thank you, Liz and the entire GPS Group Peer Support team, for your dedicated efforts in providing community and care. To learn more about their work, visit: https://bit.ly/3VwoiEE
