At the Maternal Mental Health Alliance (MMHA), we are dedicated to ensuring every woman, birthing person, baby, and family has access to the perinatal mental health care they need and deserve.
Our campaigning focuses on closing gaps, improving access, and ensuring equitable, high-quality mental health support is embedded across the maternity and postnatal healthcare system.
The MMHA’s Everyone’s Business campaign calls for all women throughout the UK who experience a perinatal mental health problem to receive the care and support they and their families need, wherever and whenever they need it.
Specialist services are foundational for perinatal mental health care. Our maps show where these services are and aren't available in the UK.
These services provide psychological therapies for moderate to severe mental health issues directly arising from someone's maternity journey.
Women and families across the UK need equal access to high-quality, compassionate care and support, including and beyond specialist services.
My journey would have been so much better if I’d had access to specialist perinatal care and a Mother and Baby Unit. My treatment was completely derailed by my separation from my son.
