The Perinatal Well-being Coalition was established in January 2025 and is a collaborative network dedicated to supporting mental health and family wellness before and after birth. The Coalition brings together a wide range of perinatal care professionals, including mental health providers, nurses, doulas, midwives, OB-GYNs, pediatricians, researchers, and program administrators, to help improve birth outcomes for families in our community.
Our goal is to reduce stigma associated with maternal mental health and to increase the number of women identified with pregnancy-related depression (PRD) who seek treatment.
As a coalition, we strive to ensure that optimal care and services are provided to women in the prenatal and postpartum period as well as their infants, children, and families. We accomplish this through identifying gaps, barriers, strengths, and weaknesses of those living with pregnancy-related depression and/or mood disorder(s).
