Care models aren’t funded. Staff lack support. Women’s voices go unheard.

It is still possible to publish by subscription route in some journals (e.g. Midwifery) - authors do not pay but the article is only available to readers with subscriptions. You can then make a version (format depends on journal) open access through your university.

Perinatal mental illness can affect anyone during pregnancy and/or after birth. Knowing the signs is the first step to getting support for you or a loved one.

Please share our post this #ParentMentalHealthDay to raise awareness. Together, we can make sure no parent is left struggling in silence.
