The Perinatal Mental Health Project (PMHP) is dedicated to promoting the mental wellbeing of pregnant and postnatal women, and their children, particularly in low- and middle-income settings. Its mission is to integrate high-quality maternal mental health care into existing maternal and child health services, helping to secure access not only to health and development, but also to social justice.

PMHP works to achieve this vision by advocating for change through creative and inclusive engagement, strengthening health and social systems by developing and supporting models of care, and generating knowledge that can shape policies and practice at scale. At its core, the organisation is guided by values of integrity, responsiveness, collaboration, and community. It is committed to excellence, drawing on evidence to ensure that its work is both impactful and sustainable, while remaining rooted in respect for equity, dignity and the realities of marginalised communities.
