WHO WE ARE
OurMission & Values
We are The Interdisciplinary Perinatal Mental Health Group (IPMHG) and we are dedicated to supporting perinatal mental health.
The aims of the group are to provide an interdisciplinary and international community of those studying, training, and working in perinatal mental health.
We support evidence-based practice, policy, training and education by providing and disseminating guest talks by leaders in the field, as well as providing evidence briefings and resources.
We strive to ensure that up to date evidence has an impact on perinatal mental health provision, services, policies, and practice for the benefit of parental mental health and wellbeing.
