ENGAGEMENT

At Maternity Engagement Action we create ‘safe spaces’ where women and their families can share their experiences through story-telling, arts, culture and creative activities.

​

The aim is to ensure that the stories behind the statistics are shared with commissioners, Local Maternity Systems and Maternity Voices Partnerships so that the voices of Black and Brown women are a central part of the Maternity Transformation narrative.

Introduction to Perinatal Mental Health in the Black community workshop

What is it?

This workshop is a brief introduction to the basics of Perinatal Mental Health (PMH).It looks at the various PMH conditions and their signs and symptoms and we give an overview of what helps when feeling low, worried or overwhelmed during pregnancy, after childbirth or in the postnatal period.

Who is it for?

This workshop is for Black perinatal women, their support networks and the wider community who have an interest in the maternal mental health and wellbeing of women they are in contact with.
