The MBPF’s mission is to support the use of mindfulness skills during the perinatal period to enhance the physical, mental, and relational health of new families — across all orientations, statuses, and identities. The MBPF does this by offering field-leading training and evidence-based resources to perinatal and mental health professionals as well as mindfulness courses delivered directly to new and expectant parents. As the home to the renowned Mindfulness-Based Childbirth and Parenting (MBCP) program, the MBPF is committed to setting the bar for perinatal mindfulness programs by promoting high-quality training processes, strong ethical guidelines, and rigorous scientific research.
