Perinatal Mental Health
Perinatal mental health refers to a person’s emotional and psychological well-being during pregnancy and the first year after childbirth. This period can bring significant changes, and while it often includes joy and excitement, it can also involve challenges such as anxiety, depression, stress, or feelings of overwhelm.
Perinatal mental health care focuses on supporting individuals and families through these experiences with compassionate, evidence-based services. With the right support, people can strengthen their resilience, build healthy connections with their baby, and navigate this transition with greater confidence and well-being.
