Welcome to NCRP Training
National Curriculum in Reproductive Planning (NCRP) is an interactive curriculum. Our interactive curriculum is designed to teach reproductive psychiatry to mental health professionals – either within an educational program structure or self-guided.
Reproductive Psychiatry
Psychiatrists-in-training are not required to have any education about the management of psychiatric illness in the perinatal period.
Over 50% of psychiatric patients are women. Over 80% of women will have at least one pregnancy and 50% of these are unplanned.
Our Mission
The mission of the National Curriculum in Reproductive Psychiatry is to advance knowledge about the diagnosis and treatment of psychiatric disorders throughout the reproductive life span. To build a common foundation for education and training in this emerging field, and to inspire lifelong learning about reproductive psychiatry, particularly during pregnancy and the postpartum period.

Please read the “Guide to Use” before downloading any of the materials; this gives details about the organization of materials and recommended order of completion.
