5: Perinatal mental health overview

The NSPCC runs two services that support parents with their mental health, Pregnancy in Mind (PiM) (https://learning.nspcc.org.uk/services-children-families/pregnancy-in-mind/) and Baby Steps (https://learning.nspcc.org.uk/services-children-families/baby-steps/) . In our fifth podcast, we speak with Louise Harrington, Development and Impact Manager and Victoria Joel (Tori), Implementation Manager about preventative mental health services and perinatal educational programmes.    Find out why parents might be referred to these types of services, how they engage with families to provide the right support and what provisions are currently available to parents outside of the NSPCC.   We end the podcast with a discussion about how the child is kept at the centre of the programmes and how this is managed in cases where babies are yet to be born.
