Community Partnerships
The Motherhood Center greatly values our relationships with community partners. Over the years we have worked alongside city agencies, government officials, and non-profits to bring PMAD education, training, advocacy, and support in an effort to have a macro impact on the field of maternal mental health. These partnerships include:
The New York Police Department
The Motherhood Center has trained NYPD officers, the EAP program, and the Medical Department on how to recognize and respond to PMADs.
The New York City Department of Health and Mental Health
Since our inception, The Motherhood Center has worked closely with many departments and programs within DOHMH including The Bureau of Maternal Infant and Reproductive Health, the Nurse Family Partnership Program, the Maternal Health Quality Improvement Network, the Maternal Mortality and Morbidity Review Committee, and the Citywide Doula initiative. We have offered several PMAD trainings, maternal mental health consultation support, and free support groups for low-income perinatal women.

The Motherhood Center has partnered with ACS to provide PMAD training and support to multiple branches including leadership within the organization to front-line workers.
