Mental health

  • Perinatal mental health support

    The Cheshire and Mersey Specialist Perinatal Service supports mums, babies and families where mum is either experiencing or at significant risk of complex or severe mental health difficulties during the perinatal period. The perinatal period means throughout pregnancy and up until the baby's first birthday. We have three teams – one in Liverpool and Sefton, one in Mid Mersey and one in Cheshire and Wirral.

  • Specialist mental health midwives

    Specialist Mental Health Midwives play a crucial role in improving the quality of maternity services and supporting the development and implementation of integrated pathways of care for women with perinatal mental illness.

  • Building Attachment and Bonds Service

    Our national award-winning service supports parents to build secure attachments and loving bonds with their babies, whilst breaking negative life cycles.
