From Postpartale Depression Schweiz to Periparto – new name, new website, broader scope

Postpartale Depression Schweiz is becoming Periparto Switzerland – and the new name says it all. Perinatal mental health conditions extend far beyond postpartum depression: anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder following a traumatic birth experience, psychosis – all of these deserve attention, destigmatisation, and targeted support. As the only non-profit organisation working in this field across Switzerland, we support those affected, strengthen professionals, and raise awareness among society and employers alike. Because mental health support during this time should be a matter of course.

The rebrand also comes with a completely redesigned website. Clearly structured by target group, it offers those affected and their loved ones orientation, help and personal testimonies; professionals gain access to resources, a wide range of continuing education opportunities, and networking; those who want to get involved will find ways to contribute and support. New additions include a dedicated section for employers and a comprehensive guide covering all phases around birth – all of it fully available in four languages. Find out more about us.

Take a look around. We are glad you are here!
