Women & Infants Mental Health Program
Women & Infants Mental Health Program
The Women & Infants Mental Health Program at U-M Health Psychiatry is dedicated to addressing the unique mental health needs of women and infants throughout their life cycle. We focus on providing comprehensive outpatient clinical care, conducting research, offering training and education, and engaging in outreach programs to improve and maintain the mental health and well-being of women and infants. Our mission centers on enhancing understanding, treatment and outcomes for women and their families.
Our Approach
Women have distinct mental health needs, particularly during hormonal changes and life transitions, such as pregnancy, postpartum, and perimenopause. Many women experience mood, anxiety, or trauma-related challenges during these times and require timely, safe and effective specialized care.
