We exist to close the maternal mental health gap
ABOUT US
BGMH Foundation is a registered nonprofit dedicated to expanding access to mental health care, education, resources, and community for women, mamas, birthing people, and families who deserve support through every chapter of their lives.
Founded by three mothers, three clinicians, and one shared conviction
OUR STORY
BGMH Foundation was founded by three mothers and clinicians who saw firsthand what happens when women and birthing people cannot access the mental health care they need during and after pregnancy. They watched systemic barriers, provider shortages, and the absence of culturally responsive care leave families without support during one of the most vulnerable seasons of their lives. So they built something different. We believe mental health care should be accessible, culturally responsive, and rooted in the realities of the communities we serve. That belief is why this Foundation exists, and it is what keeps us going.
"We believe mental health care should be accessible, culturally responsive, and rooted in the realities of the communities we serve."
OUR REACH
The numbers behind the work
Every number represents a real family, a real provider, and a real moment where care made a difference.
WHAT WE STAND FOR
Our core values
-
We uplift and amplify the voices of women, mamas, and birthing individuals. Every program, resource, and partnership we build starts here.
-
We believe healing happens in relationship, with ourselves, each other, and our communities. No mama should have to navigate this journey alone.
-
We are committed to dismantling the systemic barriers that keep women and birthing people from accessing quality mental health care. Equity is not an aspiration. It is the work.
-
We act with transparency, accountability, and authenticity in all that we do. With every family we serve and every dollar we steward.
-
We embrace creativity, learning, and new ideas to better meet the needs of our community. The tools, the training, and the systems we build reflect that commitment.
WHO WE ARE
BGMH Foundation was built by three mothers, three clinicians, and a shared belief that the maternal mental health system could be better.
