Our Mission

The mission of the Women's Mental Health Program is to provide comprehensive evaluation and evidence-based treatments for women experiencing reproductive-related psychiatric disorders to improve the lives of patients and their families.

The main focus of the Women’s Mental Health Program is on Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders. Clinical care provided by our program is complemented by research across a range of reproductive areas, including pregnancy, family and children’s mental health, fertility treatment, and menopause.

Our program is also committed to community outreach and education, as well as education and training initiatives for clinicians.
