Lisa Tremayne
Co-Founder, President, Board Chair
Lisa Tremayne is the founder and director for the Center for Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders at Monmouth Medical Center in Long Branch, NJ. This Center is one of the few mother/baby programs for PMADs in the United States.
Lisa Tremayne started the Bloom Foundation as a response to the extraordinary lack of maternal mental health resources, support and treatment available to pregnant and new moms. As a survivor of postpartum anxiety and OCD after the birth of her triplets and then fourth child, Lisa is dedicated to using her voice to decrease the stigma surrounding postpartum anxiety and depression.
Today the Bloom Foundation has staff and volunteers internationally working to educate, train, and improve the lives through several initiatives. These initiatives include peer-to-peer support facilitator training, which has directly resulted in the formation of numerous hospital based PMAD support groups around the country.
