Research Results COMING SOON

Thank you so much for taking part in the research project by completing the survey here: https://tinyurl.com/supporting-mums.

UCL have launched this extremely important project to capture new mother’s and pregnant people’s experience of mental health services during the perinatal period. Research documents that up to 20% of pregnant people and new mothers experience mental health problems during pregnancy or following birth (Faculty of Public Health, 2016). However, despite this, little research has explored how supported new mothers and pregnant people feel by NHS services during this time period. This project aims to fill this gap, with the aim to help develop future mental health services, to better support mothers and birthing people in times of need.

The project is still currently IN PROGRESS. The survey will shut on 31st December 2022.

Results will be live on this page from October 2023. You can also following @supporting_mums on twitter for future updates.

If you have any questions, please contact the lead researcher (Ellie Bennett) via email: Eleanor.bennett.13@ucl.ac.uk

Thank you for your time. Together we can help inform the development of Perinatal Mental Health Services to better support families.
