Maternal Mental Health Research Collaborative

The Maternal Mental Health Research Collaborative (MMHRC) is a small research organization based in Waltham, Massachusetts. Employing 5 to 9 individuals, MMHRC operates with a focus on maternal mental health. The organization partners with researchers at Brandeis University to conduct research focused on postpartum depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders. MMHRC provides a platform for mothers to share their experiences of recovery from these conditions. They actively engage mothers in research projects, aiming to shape future treatment options for other mothers facing similar challenges. By collaborating with researchers, MMHRC strives to make research more "mom-centered," ensuring that the perspectives and needs of mothers are at the forefront of the process. Recognizing the desire among mothers to contribute to the well-being of others, MMHRC aims to connect mothers with researchers. This collaboration addresses the common challenge of recruiting mothers for research studies.
