Thank you for being a member of the Online PPD Support Group forums.
This is a quick note to request that all active members try to use the forums appropriately by doing the following:
- Post in the specific forum set aside for your topic. If you are posting about something not related to Postpartum Mood Disorders, for example, please use our forum dedicated to general topics not related to PPMDs.
- Refrain from using the forums to solicit money or goods from other members. It's also inadvisable to offer money or goods to other members.
- Read and adhere to our rules and guidelines. They are established for the well-being of all our members, and we want to make sure you are all safe as well as supported appropriately.
- Remember that the group moderators and members are NOT a substitute for medical care. Be sure to talk concerns over with your health care provider.
- Express permission must be obtained from the administrator(s) of the forums before soliciting interviews from or requesting participation in any polls, surveys, or studies from any of our members.

If you would like to donate money to help upkeep the website, to train our Volunteers (Moderators and Experts), and to get the latest information at various conferences, please consider clicking on the PayPal donation button at the top of the forums.
