This module is a must for those working in healthcare and community services who are looking to develop their knowledge and skills in relation to the care of women and birthing people in the perinatal period. The perinatal period is often a window of opportunity for managing mental health illnesses to prevent avoidable suffering, isolation and loss of life.
The teaching and learning strategy is designed to facilitate learning for busy learners, making it easier to study from home as sessions will be delivered online.
You have the option of studying a single module for 30 credits as part of a certificate, or as part of a master’s degree at Level 6 or 7.
This module will develop your perinatal mental health knowledge and skills within your area of expertise with a focus on the perinatal period. It will give you the expertise to familiarise yourself with the range of mental health illnesses in pregnancy to post-delivery and their management to include national recommendations within the provision of care in maternity.
Particular emphasis will be placed on fostering participatory approaches in a way that facilitates your learning.
