About us

At COPE, we believe every parent deserves access to compassionate support and reliable information. Our mission is to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and empower families facing perinatal mental health challenges.

Get involved

Your support can make a lasting impact. By donating to COPE, you help to provide vital support, resources, and research for families facing perinatal mental health challenges. Together, we can make sure no parent is alone.

Getting help

Understand when to seek help, how to take the first step of talking to someone, types of support available, plus how to find specialised perinatal mental health support near you.

Becoming a parent is one of the most significant transitions a person will go through in their lifetime. Many adjustments have to be made to successfully navigate the transition to parenthood… including the fundamental transition from ‘working person’ to ‘working parent’

The funding will go toward the development of a pilot program specifically designed to support and make a difference to the mental health and wellbeing of expectant and new parents (*perinatal period) in the Victorian workplace – Perinatal Workplace Wellbeing Program (PWWP).

Program Aims

The aim of the program is to support individuals by creating organisational change through working with key industries.

This change will be achieved via a comprehensive workplace training, assessment and support package to build knowledge, awareness and skills in supporting workers, and leadership through this period. Results will show an increase in wellbeing both at individual and organisational levels and promote cultural change across industries.
