We would however welcome anyone with an interest in perinatal mental health who felt they wanted to contribute.
How do we contribute?
We are all involved to different degrees and have interests in a variety of different areas of the service but what bring us all together are our passion for Maternal Mental Health and the desire to improve the experiences of women and their families who may have a need for this service now and in the future.
At present some of the activities we are involved in include:
- Involvement in recruitment and interview panels for new staff
- Forming links and relationships with similar groups nationally
- Collaboration with the service in planning and hosting the annual review
- Speaking / presenting at the annual review
- Planning and facilitating community engagement events
- Volunteering on the inpatient ward, including assisting with the activity programme and Hosting of Coffee mornings.
- Collecting a resource of patient stories and experiences.
