Perinatal Support Project

1 in 6 pregnant women are affected by mental distress...

These mental health issues, if not dealt with, can affect the relationship between mother and child and impact on a child’s long-term development.

Family Action's Perinatal Support Project provides mum's and families with the support they need, when they need it the most.

Find out more about Family Action's Perinatal Support Project below and what the families we work with have to say about it. 

Join us at Party Conferences this year where we'll be debating the question of investment in perinatal services. Find out more and book your place.
