Supporting partners, families and carers
Healthcare professionals should take into account the needs of family members and carers of pregnant women and mothers with mental health problems. They should consider:
-
the welfare of the baby, and any other children and family members
-
the support provided by the woman's partner, family members or carers
-
how the mental health problem is affecting the woman's relationship with family members or carers
