Mental health during the perinatal period (pregnancy and the year postpartum) is a serious global concern. Women are more likely to develop anxiety or depression during the perinatal period than at any other point in their lives and suicide is a leading cause of maternal deaths in the first year postpartum. Stressors associated with the COVID-19 pandemic have further exacerbated this perinatal mental health crisis. Nevertheless, the need for psychosocial and mental health care for women in the perinatal period is often overlooked, especially in low- and middle-income countries and other under-resourced settings.<\/p>\n

Please join the Wilson Center\u2019s Maternal Health Initiative, in collaboration with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), for a dialogue on perinatal mental health with panelists reflecting on these issues from their own backgrounds as healthcare providers, advocates, researchers, policy makers, and from their lived experience. Panelists will discuss the global magnitude and impact of perinatal mental health disorders on mothers, babies, families, and communities; barriers to women accessing mental health care services; lessons learned in regard to best practices for prevention and treatment; and policy changes to improve access to perinatal mental health care for pregnant individuals worldwide.<\/p>\n

We are collecting questions and comments on this topic ahead of the event. Please send your question to\u00a0<\/strong>mhi@wilsoncenter.org<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0by\u00a0October 10, 2021<\/strong>\u00a0so we can incorporate audience questions into the discussion.\u00a0Follow the conversation<\/strong>\u00a0on Twitter at @Wilson_MHI and @UNFPA and on Instagram at @MaternalHealthInitiative using the hashtags\u00a0#PMHMatters\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0#MHDialogue<\/strong>.

There are certainly advantages to having fully-qualified health professionals like nurses or nurse-midwives provide services; however many aspects of the needed services could be provided by cadres of health auxiliaries with less training. In some settings, greater reach is achieved by providing services on an outreach basis. Over the past 15 years, the standard model for ANC has been \u201cfocused ANC,\u201d a four-visit schedule.

Best practices include ensuring mothers are involved in the decision-making (including where they will give birth) and are provided with supportive care at all stages and that the birth proceeds without intervention as long as labor progresses normally and the woman and baby are well. When complications arise, health workers must be ready to respond appropriately.[\/vc_column_text][vc_text_separator title=\"Key resources\"][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=\"1\/2\"][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unfpa.org\/sowmy\">State of the World\u2019s Midwifery Report<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/hnn-content\/uploads\/MCPC-2nd-ed.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u00a0<\/a>(2021)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/hnn-content\/uploads\/MCPC-2nd-ed.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WHO guidelines Managing complications in pregnancy and childbirth: A guide for midwives and doctors\u00a0<\/a>(2017)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/resource\/every-newborn-action-plan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Every Newborn Action Plan<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=\"1\/2\"][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/tools\/essential-newborn-care-training-course\">Essential Newborn Care Course<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 interim version of the second edition (2022)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/blog\/ending-preventable-stillbirths-requires-improving-quality-of-care\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ending Preventable Stillbirths requires improving quality of care<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","post_title":"Childbirth care","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"childbirth-care","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-08-02 12:48:31","post_modified_gmt":"2023-08-02 16:48:31","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/?post_type=issue&p=117","menu_order":0,"post_type":"issue","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":15762,"post_author":"7211","post_date":"2019-12-10 11:18:26","post_date_gmt":"2019-12-10 16:18:26","post_content":"<p>[vc_row full_width=\"stretch_row\" css=\".vc_custom_1453403441710{margin-top: -60px !important;padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}\"][vc_column width=\"1\/2\"][vc_column_text]Across the world, many women, newborns and their families experience disrespectful, abusive, or neglectful treatment during childbirth, and this extends to the postpartum period.

Newborns\u2019 experiences with caregivers can have significant and lasting impact\u2014 newborn babies feel pain and discomfort, and can experience emotional distress, particularly when separated from their families in the first hours of life. Good early care, including attachment and breastfeeding, has a lasting positive impact on the health and well-being of newborns throughout their lives. More research is needed to determine how widespread these issues are, how to better define mistreatment of newborns, and how to provide better care for all families as well as support to health care providers.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"1\/2\"][vc_column_text]In October 2019, the Global Respectful Maternal Care Council, convened by the White Ribbon Alliance, launched <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/resource\/respectful-maternity-care-charter-universal-rights-of-women-and-newborns\/\">Respectful Maternal Care Charter: the universal rights of women and newborns<\/a>.
