Our Maternal Mental Health Service (MMHS) aims to provide specialist psychological assessment and interventions for individuals experiencing high levels of distress and/or complex mental health difficulties that have arisen in the maternity, neonatal or reproductive context. Such difficulties may include Post-traumatic Stress Disorder following birth, pregnancy/baby loss or separation and severe perinatal anxiety/fear of childbirth (tokophobia). Psychological approaches will be offered at the individual and group level through to teams, systems and community groups. The service aims to further develop and refine pathways in the following areas of local need, where these needs are not met in pre-existing services:

- Reproductive / perinatal loss (e.g. including loss of a baby through miscarriage, termination for fetal abnormality, still birth, and neo-natal death)
- Reproductive / perinatal trauma
- Severe Perinatal Anxiety / Fear / Tokophobia (fear of pregnancy/ childbirth)
- Parent-infant separation at birth (due to safeguarding concerns)

In addition to offering psychological interventions, there will be a strong focus on embedding universal trauma-informed care in wider community and maternity settings through training, consultation, supervision and staff support. The service aims to tackle barriers that may prevent women/birthing people from getting the support and treatment for mental health difficulties that have arisen as a result of their reproductive/maternity journey.

We work in people's homes, in community clinics and bases. Some staff work from one of our 13 community hospitals. Our aspiration is to have great people, provide great care, be a great place to work and a great partner.

Approximately 568,000 people live here. A third of people who live in Cornwall are supported by acute hospital services in Devon. As a result, we also work closely with our partners in Devon.
