We are delighted to announce the launch of new Maternal Mental Health Services (MMHS) in every region of the country as one aspect of this further expansion. These services (called Maternity Outreach Clinics in the NHS Long-Term Plan) will provide targeted care and support to women whose needs would not be met in other services. We love to celebrate the success of our students and share information via our social media channels. Here is a list of our official channels, please follow and share!

Findings from this evaluation will help identify the most optimal model to deliver the service and what contexts are barriers to implementation, to inform the national roll-out of this service. Learning will help improve the effectiveness of the MMHS in identifying women with mental health difficulties associated with loss and trauma related to childbirth and accessing evidence-based treatment. In the longer term, it will help improve psychological outcomes for women and families and therefore has potential long-term benefits for maternal and child health and wellbeing.

Maternal Mental Health Services (MMHS) will bring together maternity, psychology and reproductive health services for women who experience moderate-severe mental ill health from loss or trauma as a result of their maternity experience, but previously did not have a service to access.The Women’s Mental Health PAG, is a group of women and partners with experience of mental health difficulties related to the perinatal period. These groups meet regularly on a quarterly basis to provide advice and guidance on all aspects of the research process, including research design, use of language, data collection and dissemination. They informed the need to establish a dedicated project PPIE and advisory group for for women who have experienced trauma or loss related to childbirth.

how effective MMHS are in improving mental health for women who have experienced trauma or loss related to childbirth Selection for Separate Science will link to positive “thoughtful hard work” comments by classroom teachers. Next Steps The overarching aim of the project is to explore 'which MMHS model works, for whom, in what circumstances, how and why (i.e. what are the underlying mechanisms)? About the MMHS The Physical Education Faculty aims to provide all students with a positive inclusive experience within their PE lessons and extra-curricular activities. We aim to encourage and empower young people for a life of learning and sport, in line with the school’s mission statement. We strive to ensure that each and every student has the opportunity to develop physically, cognitively, socially and morally within the faculty’s schemes of learning.Her experience has seen her leading and influencing national maternity standards and guidance. She also influences healthcare, nationally and internationally through research, education and publications and is frequently invited to speak at national and international conferences.

Laura Bridle, specialist perinatal mental health midwife, Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust The MMHS will provide multidisciplinary integrated care and support to women experiencing moderate to complex mental health difficulties arising from trauma or loss related to childbirth (e.g., post-traumatic stress following childbirth, tokophobia, miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal death, pregnancy termination and loss of custody), whose needs are not currently met in other services. The research team will work with the maternity and perinatal mental health ARC South London PPIE network and the section of women’s mental health Parent Advisory Group (PAG).The ARC South London PPIE group is a well-established diverse group of women, and representatives from service user led organisation with experience of maternity care and/or perinatal mental health difficulties. The Headteacher will report to the governing body and parents on how effective the intervention has been in achieving its aims, including publishing online information about how the Premium has been used.

In addition, they will establish an advisory group with representatives from relevant voluntary organisations e.g Birth Trauma Association, Miscarriage Association, SANDs, the International Stillbirth Alliance, Tommy’s Baby Charity and Birth Companions. The advisory group will meet on six occasions throughout project to inform the development and delivery. Our collaborators

In this blog, Dr Giles Berrisford and Professor Jacqueline Dunkley-Bent provide an overview of their shared ambitions for MMHS, as well as the brilliant work to date to pilot those services in challenging times.In making provision for socially disadvantaged learners, we recognise that not all learners who receive Free School Meals will be socially disadvantaged or underachieving. We also recognise that not all learners who are socially disadvantaged are registered or qualify for free school meals. We therefore reserve the right to allocate the Pupil Premium funding to support any groups of learners the school has legitimately identified as being socially disadvantaged.
