Pregnancy and the first two years after having a baby is a really important time for the mental health of parents as you are more vulnerable to mental health challenges. As part of routine care through the NHS, the professionals you see should be asking about your emotional wellbeing as well as your physical health. However mental health is not always an easy thing to talk about, for the professional or the person using the service. Cheshire and Merseyside NHS want to understand what has been good about these conversations during your experiences, and what you think could be done to improve these conversations for other families.

MMD-PROC-016 - Self Harm Procedure
The Trust understands self-harm as symptomatic of some greater distress. The Trust has developed an approach which whilst not condoning self-harm, accepts it as a current means of coping whilst seeking alternatives. This policy recognises an inclusive approach to supporting patients, working in genuine partnership, to find alternative coping strategies to self-harm rather than an exclusively prevention model. This policy adopts a non-judgmental, non-punitive caring and empathic response to self-harm, where the patient retains the responsibility between further acts of self-harm and in developing alternatives (unless there is a perceived threat to life or threat of considerable injury and taking into account the individual’s mental capacity to make such decisions).
