Maternal Mental Health Service
The Maternal Mental Health Service (MMHS) supports women, 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 who experience significant mental health distress which is impacting day-to-day life, for example, work, relationships and sleep, which is directly associated with their experiences of:
- Miscarriage
- Ectopic pregnancy
- Termination of pregnancy due to foetal abnormality
- Stillbirth
- Neonatal death
Baby loss can impact everyone in our community. Our service aims to reflect the rich cultural diversity found in Birmingham and Solihull to meet individual needs and experiences. Parents can often feel isolated and misunderstood in their grief, our service offers an open and supportive space.
The service works alongside other health professionals to ensure the women/birthing people are given the best support possible. Women and birthing people who have experienced perinatal loss have worked with the team and maternity colleagues to develop our service.
