Funded Activity Summary

Prevention of perinatal mental health difficulties is a national priority. In addition to depressed mood, some mothers experience a range of anxiety disorders. Many women report that problems are not discussed or diagnosed and few receive help. We will conduct a trial and qualitative evaluation of an early counselling intervention for distressed postpartum women. The intervention, offered by trained midwives, aims to reduce anxiety, depression and promote positive parenting.
