Web pages for supporting perinatal mental health

The 1001 steering group has a remit around supporting mental health and emotional wellbeing for parents, families and their infants.  

For some time the group has been developing some new webpages on the CWPT site, for parents and allied professionals to raise both awareness of these issues and to signpost to services. The site is live and available at the link below.  

https://www.covwarkpt.nhs.uk/mental-health-support-in-pregnancy-and-after-birth

The site has 4 key pages:

1.General introduction to what perinatal mental health is, map showing area covered for this information and links to 3 further pages

2. Information about perinatal mental health referrals – what to expect, who to talk to about possible referral, myth busting section and section on lived experience and help obtained.

3. Local sources of help and support – subdivided into various headings and further subdivided into Coventry and Warwickshire services.

4. Further links to training and learning for parents, carers and allied professionals – with links to previous webinars, training offers.

These pages are not static and will be updated regularly. For any suggestions please contact:
