Program design · Clinical training · Expert commentary

The most common complication of childbirth is the one no one is trained to see.

Bloom builds perinatal mental health programs — from a single peer support group to a full hospital center. Our founder, Lisa Tremayne, RN, PMH-C, CBC, built New Jersey’s first one and helped write the country’s first universal maternal screening program. Twenty years of learning what makes these programs work, and what makes them stall. Now we do it for other people.

What we do

Four ways to work with Bloom.

Every engagement starts with a conversation about what you are actually trying to build and what you have to spend. The figures below are starting points, not quotes.

For health systems & hospitals

Program design

Stand up perinatal mental health services inside a system that already exists. Screening workflows, referral pathways, escalation protocols, staffing models, and the reimbursement questions that stall most programs before year two. We start with an assessment, so you know what you are buying before you buy it.

Implementation support through go-live

For practices, birth centers & community orgs

Screening & support setup

You do not need a hospital wing. You need to know what to screen with, what the score actually means, who you call when it comes back high, and how to run a support group that does not fall apart in month four. Built for small practices, midwifery groups, doulas, and community organizations.

Track record

Programs we have built.

Not talks given. Programs that opened, took patients, and are still running.

Monmouth Medical Center Long Branch, New Jersey

New Jersey’s first Center for Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders

Designed and directed from the ground up: integrated therapy, medication management, and peer support under one roof, inside an existing hospital system. The model was presented as the closing session of the National Perinatal Association’s annual conference.

Opened 2017 · Still operating

State of New Jersey Statewide

First universal maternal screening program in the country

Helped develop the universal screening protocol for prenatal and postpartum depression that New Jersey adopted in 2005 — the first state in the nation to require it. The workflow problems we solved then are the ones systems are still asking about now.

Adopted statewide 2005

Postpartum Support International Northeast region

Provider certification training

Northeast training expert for PSI’s provider certification program, teaching the clinicians who go on to certify in perinatal mental health across the region.

The Bloom network

Who delivers the work.

Bloom is built to travel. Lisa sets clinical direction on every engagement; regional associates handle delivery, training, and on-site implementation, so a program in Washington does not wait on a calendar in New Jersey.

Plain language

What these illnesses actually are.

These are different conditions with different symptoms, different timelines, and different levels of urgency, and they get collapsed into one word constantly.

1 in 7 birthing parents experience postpartum depression

It is the most common complication of childbirth — more common than gestational diabetes or preeclampsia — and it is the one least likely to be screened for consistently.

1–2 in 1,000 experience postpartum psychosis

A different and far rarer condition than postpartum depression. Onset is usually sudden and within the first weeks after birth. It can involve confusion, agitation, sleeplessness, and beliefs or perceptions that are not real, and it can fluctuate hour to hour. It is a psychiatric emergency and it is treatable.

Under 20% of those with symptoms receive treatment

Stigma is part of it. So is a system where the person most likely to notice — a nurse, a pediatrician, a lactation consultant, a family member — was never taught what to look for or what to do next.

Name & lower third

Lisa Tremayne, RN, PMH-C, CBC — Perinatal Mental Health Specialist

One-line intro

Lisa Tremayne is a registered nurse and certified perinatal mental health specialist who founded New Jersey’s first center dedicated to perinatal mood and anxiety disorders.

Full bio

Lisa Tremayne, RN, PMH-C, CBC, is a perinatal mental health specialist and a survivor of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. In 2005 she helped develop New Jersey’s universal screening program for prenatal and postpartum depression, the first in the nation. In 2017 she created and directed New Jersey’s first Center for Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders, providing integrated therapy, medication management, and peer support to new and expecting parents. She teaches perinatal mental health to clinicians nationally, has presented at the National Perinatal Association and the NEI Fall Congress, and serves on advisory bodies including the Maternity Care Caucus stakeholder group and PCORI-funded research teams.

Standing quote

“Postpartum psychosis is rare, it is a medical emergency, and it is treatable when someone recognizes it. Almost no one is taught to recognize it. That is the gap that keeps families in danger.”

What she will and won’t speak to.
Lisa speaks to perinatal mental illness generally: what these conditions are, how they present, how they are screened for and treated, and where the standard of care fails. She does not diagnose, assess, or speculate about any individual she has not personally treated, and she does not comment on the facts or the outcome of any active case.
