Fife: Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week 2024

Perinatal mental health (PMH) refers to the mental health of a mother during pregnancy, or in the first year after the birth of her baby.

Around one in five expectant and new mums are affected by perinatal mental illness and this can cover a wide range of conditions. These can have really significant and long-lasting effects on the mother, the baby both before and after birth, and the whole family.

Fife’s specialist perinatal and infant mental health service provides input for women with complex mental health needs and supports the relationship between babies and their mothers.

Please speak to your GP, midwife, health visitor or family nurse if you are experiencing difficulties and they can link in with our service.

We are pleased to support the Perinatal Mental Health Partnership, especially during Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week. If you’d like to learn more about maternal mental health, there's more information by clicking on the link below. You will find a lot of great resources about what perinatal mental health is and the routes to recovery. You can also hear parent voices and stories. Perinatal Mental Health Partnership (dbem.org)
