This section of the Amplifying Maternal Voices Toolkit looks at examples of barriers women and families may face to both accessing perinatal mental health services and to local involvement in groups and organisations.
These ideas may be useful for service providers in a healthcare or voluntary and community sector setting as well as anyone looking for best practice models to make the case for improvements in their local area.
Ideas here may be useful for individuals interested in starting/joining a campaign group, establishing partnerships or hoping to engage new people in an inclusive, supportive way.
This toolkit offers creative ideas and practical tools to empower individuals in shaping perinatal mental health care at the local level.
