Summary

As set out in Implementing the Five Year Forward View for Mental Health £365 million is being invested in specialist perinatal mental health services so that by 2021 an additional 30,000 women each year can receive evidence-based treatment, closer to home, when they need it.

The guidance provides services with evidence on what works in perinatal mental health care, as well as case studies describing how areas are starting to make this a reality.
