About the PMHP<br />

The Perinatal Mental Health Project (PMHP) is an independent initiative based at the University of Cape<br />

Town. It is located within the Alan J Flisher Centre for Public Mental Health, in the Department of Psychiatry<br />

and Mental Health. We are a non-profit entity and have been operating since 2002. We partner with the<br />

Departments of Health and Social Development.<br />

We provide mental health services for pregnant and postnatal women, train those who work with mothers<br />

to improve the quality of their care, form partnerships to promote the scale up of services and inform global<br />

interventions through robust research and advocacy. We support state agencies and partner with non-profit<br />

organisations to achieve health and social development objectives.<br />

We envision mental health support for all mothers to promote their well-being, and that of their children<br />

and communities.<br />

Our mission is to develop and advocate for accessible maternal mental health care that can be delivered<br />

effectively at scale in low resource settings.<br />
