PMH-C training stipend program launching June 20th

5 training stipends will be available for distribution across this year and next. Stipends will be awarded in two rounds, with the second round opening in June 2026. Awards will be made on a first-come, first-served basis.

We All Have a Role in Supporting Families

The Gorge Perinatal Mental Health Initiative (PMHI) was formed to address prenatal and postpartum mental health concerns in the Columbia Gorge region. We believe parents in our community should be able to have their mental health concerns addressed and that when parents are supported, all families thrive.

PMHI aims to increase awareness about perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, strengthen community capacity, and provide resources for parents experiencing perinatal mood and anxiety disorders.

About us

We are a grant-funded program serving communities in both Oregon and Washington. With the support of our primary funder, we have built the infrastructure for PMHI to provide peer-based support for parents, deliver training and education for professionals, and lead a task force dedicated to identifying and addressing local challenges. To carry out this work, we partnered with Perinatal Support Washington for technical assistance and training support.
