Peer-led. Mom-centered. Our lived experience lets us close the gap between research and advocacy.
MMHRC is a place for moms who have lived experience with a maternal mental illness and who want to engage in research.
The Maternal Mental Health Research Collaborative (MMHRC) is a mom-centered research organization in partnership with researchers at Brandeis University.
MMHRC is a mom-centered research organization that:
- Provides a safe space where moms can share their stories of recovery from postpartum depression, anxiety and other mood disorders.
- Engages moms in important research projects that shape future treatment options for other moms.
- Builds strong partnerships with researchers to help shape future research, with the goal of making it “mom-centered.”
From our experience we know that:
- Moms want to give back and help others.
- Millions of dollars are spent every year on research that is designed to look at treatments for postpartum depression, anxiety, and psychosis – but finding moms to participate is a huge challenge!
- We have the power to bring together moms and researchers together so we can help share hope.
