Abstract

Perinatal mental health (PNMH) is an ongoing concern for women and families, as well as for health and social care services. It is estimated that 10-20% of women will experience mental health issues and up to 10% of fathers may also experience difficulties with their mental health. This issue was recently highlighted by national media.

Our previous stakeholder consultation work identified service gaps for women in the mild-moderate category of PNMH. This project aimed to explore this identified gap further by bringing together a diverse group of partners, including women/families, practitioners and researchers to co-develop a collaborative action-research agenda. Project design and delivery was developed in collaboration with an expert with lived experience to ensure all elements were relevant and relatable.

It is crucial to involve all stakeholders, including those with lived experience and practitioners, in discussions regarding successful interventions for perinatal mental health. This approach ensures that families receive better outcomes in a sustainable and scalable manner.
