1 in 4 women in the community suffer from a perinatal mood disorder (from conception to 18 months post-birth). They feel isolated and reluctant to talk about what they are experiencing due to stigma, lack of knowledge, or misunderstanding from those around them.

​

Menucha was launched in 2019 by a group of Orthodox Jewish Women in North West London with first-hand experience of postnatal depression and perinatal mental health issues.

​

We are a charity aiming to provide advice and support that empowers Jewish women and their families. We work to improve accessibility to culturally appropriate services, raise awareness, promote understanding and reduce stigma of this issue.
