Vision, Mission & Values

Our Vision

Periparto's vision is a society in which mental health support before, during, and after childbirth is a matter of course. No one should face the psychological challenges of this crucial stage of life alone or in isolation, nor feel ashamed of what they are going through.

We see ourselves as the heart of a network that weaves together specialist expertise and lived experience, forming a protective circle around those who need it.

Our Mission

Our mission is to drive positive change and support families in building mentally healthy family lives, collaborating with committed professionals, peers, and key figures in society.

Our Values

• Closeness and compassion — We meet those affected and their families as equals: with understanding, empathy, and without judgment or shame. An encounter built on trust is the foundation of any genuinely effective support.

• Professional excellence — Our work is rooted in scientific evidence, interdisciplinary expertise, and years of hands-on experience. Continuous growth is part of our commitment — so that everyone who turns to us can count on support that truly meets their needs.

• Openness — Perinatal mental health challenges are are still far too often left unspoken. We create safe spaces where people can speak freely — without fear, without shame, without taboo.

• Connection — Effective support grows from encounter and collaboration. We see ourselves as the heart of a network that brings together lived experience, professional expertise, and social commitment.

• Sustainability — We think and act with the long term in mind: for the families seeking help today, for a healthcare system that takes early identification seriously, and for a society in which mental health around the time of birth is simply part of the conversation.
