Perinatal Strategic Planning (PSP) is the foundation of informed, evidence-based decision-making during pregnancy and postpartum. More than just a checklist, PSP guides what to discuss, when to discuss it, how it should be approached, and by whom—all while centering the wellbeing of both mother and baby.

This approach respects women’s autonomy through a shared decision-making process, building trust and empowering informed choices. While risk analysis lies at the heart (or is a fundamental part) of PSP, its true power lies in providing structure, context, and clarity for decisions that shape maternal and infant health.

More than 80% of women with psychiatric conditions during pregnancy go untreated often due to fear and misinformation about medications. This is despite strong evidence that untreated maternal mental illness can lead to adverse outcomes for both mothers and their babies.

PSP bridges this gap, helping healthcare providers and mothers navigate complex decisions with confidence, clarity, and compassion.
