About this service
The Maternal Mental Health Service (MMHS) supports women/birthing people, their partners and families living in Birmingham and Solihull who have experienced perinatal loss and have associated mental health difficulties.
Our service is for women/birthing people who experience significant mental health distress which is impacting on day-to-day life (e.g., work, relationships, sleep) which is directly associated with their experiences of;
miscarriage
ectopic pregnancy
termination of pregnancy due to foetal abnormality.
stillbirth
neonatal death.
We offer peer support, specialist midwifery and psychological therapy which aim to build an understanding of individual experiences, current difficulties, and possible factors which may affect emotional wellbeing.
We will work together to identify and plan steps forward for support and meaningful change. We will draw on a range of evidence-based and trauma-informed psychological approaches.
Anyone who feels they need support around their mental health following a pregnancy or baby loss is encouraged to discuss this with their midwife, health visitor or GP who can share information about all the sources of support in Birmingham and Solihull. They can all also refer into our specialist team if needed. Unfortunately, we do not accept direct self-referrals.
