Our Perinatal Mental Health Service 'Growing Together' operates across Renfrewshire and Inverclyde, providing a range of group work and one to one support for expectant parents, new parents and carers and infants up to three years old. We use the Five to Thrive method to provide parents with knowledge and skills about attachment and development, so they have lots of information about how their baby will grow and develop and how they can support them. Many of the parents supported by ‘Growing Together’ are also care experienced.
Our response considers how the the Scottish Government could improve perinatal mental health services in Scotland, both in the short term and over the next five years.
