Make a donation to our perinatal mental health charity

Help fund vital research and ensure that every Australian mum is screened, informed, and supported with perinatal mental health care, and that no more lives are lost to maternal suicide.

How COPE helps others as a women's mental health charity

With your support, COPE can continue its vital research and its mission to reduce the devastating impacts of perinatal emotional and mental health conditions experienced during pregnancy and in the first year following birth.

Together, we can ensure no more lives are lost to maternal suicide.

Your tax-deductible donation will help COPE to:

Help health professionals implement best practice in perinatal mental health care through perinatal mental health training and resources as outlined in the National Clinical Guideline developed by COPE.

Inform and reassure all new and expectant parents with the free Ready to COPE app that offers weekly, evidenced-based information and updates, tools and strategies to help them cope with the emotional realities of parenthood.

Facilitate cost-effective and private digital perinatal mental health screening via iCOPE, which ensures 100% accuracy in scoring and provides automated tailored clinician and patient reports and resources, so every Australian mother is identified, informed and supported throughout the perinatal period.

Offer pathways to care through the eCOPE Directory, Australia’s first directory that lists professionals with demonstrated expertise in perinatal mental health, and designed to meet the challenge of finding timely support and treatment for mental health problems and associated risk factors during and after pregnancy.
