Working together to improve mental health outcomes for mothers, babies, and families worldwide.
Global Alliance for
Maternal Mental Health
Welcome to the
The Global Alliance for Maternal Mental Health (GAMMH) is a coalition of international organisations, national alliances, and associate member organisations working to improve the mental health and wellbeing of women, babies, partners, and families during pregnancy and the first year after birth (the perinatal period).
Through our network of alliances, we are amplifying global advocacy efforts and ensuring that maternal mental health is prioritised. We provide technical support for alliances, contribute to global resources about maternal mental health, and create platforms for regional collaboration.
Our Work
The Problem
Although treatable, mental health conditions are the most common complications of pregnancy and childbirth. They are roughly twice as common in least developed countries as they are in highly developed countries. This gap creates significant socio-economic barriers across generations.
Our Solution
With a particular focus on LMICs and low-resource settings, GAMMH is addressing the unique barriers to maternal mental healthcare. We promote multi-sectoral collaboration at various levels by establishing alliances, which work together to advocate for improved care.
