The Perinatal Project will be the web-based hub for a number of collaborative projects--with the primary goals of sharing information, building strategic networks for advocacy, and making pregnancy, birth, and early parenting saner, safer, happier, and healthier. [View Press Release]

Our goal is to raise awareness about the connection between "the mind" and "the body" during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, emphasizing a holistic definition of prenatal and postpartum health.

This website will provide information and support related to perinatal mental health, with a recognition that wellness during and after pregnancy encompasses the whole self. Research tells us that emotional stability during the perinatal period affects every aspect of the wellbeing of babies, mothers, and families. We believe it is crucial for all mothers--as well as those who care for and advocate for them--to recognize, understand, and get help for depression, anxiety, trauma, or stress during this sensitive time.
