The Centre for Women's Mental Health

Our research aims to improve the life outcomes of vulnerable women and their families.

The Manchester Centre for Women’s Mental Health (CWMH) is a unique grouping of lead researchers on women, families and mental illness comprising international experts on prenatal and postnatal maternal environmental effects, developmental psychology and attachment, and the influence of severe mental illness.

 

In addition, the CWMH work with women in prisons and families with severe mental illness.​

​

Founded by Professor Kathryn Abel, Co-Director of the GM.Digital research unit, the centre provides an exciting multidisciplinary environment where basic neuroscience techniques blend with observational epidemiology and public health approaches for the production, dissemination and translation of world-class research in maternal, offpring and women’s mental health.
