Perinatal mental health

Introduction

In Lancashire and South Cumbria Local Maternity System, perinatal mental health is an important part of our service-development plans and priorities. Collaborating with the North-West Coast Clinical Network for perinatal mental health, local maternity, mental health and voluntary services we are striving to improve health outcomes for all.

As part of our work, we are developing a new maternal mental health service that will aim to:

  • Offer additional specialised support during your maternity journey
  • Give you access to a range of specialist support and peer support volunteers
  • Work with you to develop an individual package of care

There are also a range of resources and information available to support you with your experiences and journey through childbearing, birth and early parenthood.

Please browse through all we have to offer.
