The Black Country Maternal Mental Health Service supports women and birthing people who have experienced a perinatal loss and have associated difficulties with their day-to-day wellbeing and mental health. The service is provided by a team of healthcare professionals including psychologists, specialist midwives, counsellors and peer support workers.
If you're feeling stuck in your grief journey and are worried about your emotional or mental health, or struggling with your day to day functioning, speak to your GP, midwife or health professional about a referral.
