Peer Support Worker
5 months ago
The Maternal Mental Health Service (MMHS), known as TULIP, is for women who have experienced psychological distress as a result of their maternity experience. This may be due to a traumatic birth experience, pregnancy loss, medical termination, neonatal death or the loss of a baby as a result of social care procedures due to safeguarding concerns. The trauma may also exist prior to conception, e.g. when tokophobia prevents a woman from achieving a wanted pregnancy. Women can be eligible for care from the Maternal Mental Health Service without being pregnant or having their baby with them.
Peer Support Workers are people who have lived experienced of mental health difficulties and treatment and are considered ‘experts by experience’. In the Maternal Mental Health Service experts by experience will have lived knowledge of mental illness such as depression, anxiety and/or psychosis in pregnancy or in the first year after birth.
Peer Support Workers engage with mental health service users by showing empathy, sharing experience, inspiring hope and promoting recovery. The Peer Support Workers will collaborate with service users to support their recovery journey and assist them to make patient centred choices. The Peer Support Worker will assist service users in raising aspirations and developing personal goals, and aid in increasing their individual social resources.
All members of the Maternal Mental Health clinical team work in collaboration with multiple agencies in the community. The Maternal Mental Health Service mainly works online, but also may run clinics at maternity sites, community centres as well as conducting home visits. Peer Support Workers must be able to mobilise independently using public transport or driving.
