The PPSC Holding Coalition

Who We Are

The PPSC Holding Coalition is a nationwide alliance of holding-informed therapists committed to transforming maternal mental health aligned with therapeutic principles of The Art of Holding Perinatal Women in Distress™

 

Our Mission

To elevate the standard of perinatal mental health care by training and supporting clinicians, empowering families, and integrating collaborative care models that honor the complexity and individuality of the perinatal experience.

 

Signature Initiatives

 

The GOOD MOMS Project
In alignment with The Joint Commission’s guidelines for advanced perinatal care and discharge planning, this initiative calls on hospitals to provide a copy of the book, “Good Moms Have Scary Thoughts” by Karen Kleiman to every birthing person — offering immediate, compassionate support and helping normalize the emotional challenges of new motherhood.

“When moms feel seen, heard, and held — they heal better.”

 

The Art of Holding Perinatal In Distress™ 6 hr Training

A 6-hour clinical training offered nationwide, designed to deepen the perinatal therapists’ capacity to hold, contain, and connect with perinatal clients experiencing prenatal or postpartum mood and anxiety disorders.
 

Clinicians will learn how to:

• Integrate The Art of Holding model of intervention into their clinical practice.

• How to attune to the voice of depression.

• Why you must access authentic suffering and why she doesn’t want you to.

• How to identify possessive longing and embrace the resistance.

• How to sit with suffering and find meaning in her pain.

• Why you should trust the process—and your presence.

• How to transform magic into healing.
