Perinatal Mental Health Training opportunity

I’m Fine Poster

Your work brings you into contact with new mums and their babies. From time to time you will see a pregnant or new mother who is concerned or others are concerned about her mental health.

Perinatal mental health problems are constantly in the top 3 causes of maternal death. Mental illness in a mother has implications for her, her baby and her wider family and yet commonly when a woman in difficulty sees a health professional she minimises or denies problems – often due to shame, fear, guilt and hopelessness. Time and again women say “I’m Fine” when the reality is very different. “I’m Fine” training gives front line staff a methodical system to gather information, assess risk and to make an informed decision with a woman about next steps.
