The Perinatal Mental Health Project

The Perinatal Mental Health Project (PMHP) addresses the need for integrated mental health care for pregnant and postpartum women and girls since 2002. We are an independent, non-profit entity based at the University of Cape Town, within the Alan J Flisher Centre for Public Mental Health. 

We support maternal mental health by addressing challenges associated with gender-based violence, teen pregnancy, HIV, substance misuse, refugee status and early childhood development through its clinical engagement with vulnerable women and their families. Through training of staff that interact with these women, through research projects and advocacy work, we address some of the challenges in meeting Sustainable Development Goals 1, 3, 5 and 10.

Anyone is welcome to use our videos for training purposes in any format. We kindly ask that you acknowledge us by linking to our website or Youtube channel. Contact us directly if you would like access to original, high quality files.
