This book helps practitioners support parents during the perinatal period by supporting them to maintain good health. Practitioners, parents and grandparents need to be aware of the risk factors for anxiety and depression, understand how signs and symptoms may present and have the knowledge to know how to offer help and support.
Providing help for practitioners to support parents and grandparents during the perinatal period, this book offers advice on how to maintain good mental health. The authors lay the groundwork for understanding the factors that affect perinatal mental health and offer practical interventions which enhance the practitioners' ability to help both parents.

The book looks at the importance of good mental health, the different types of poor mental health, as well as the impact of these on the infant. It also raises awareness of the importance of fathers' mental health and the understanding of how parents can have different timelines for their own traumas.


By providing practitioners with a toolkit to look at parents' and grandparents' mental health during the perinatal period, Supporting Parents and Families with Perinatal Mental Health is an essential guide for recognising parents' deteriorating mental health, helping them to improve it, leading them to recovery.

Mark Williams is a keynote speaker, author and international campaigner. In 2004, he experienced depression following the birth of his son and his wife's struggles. As a result, he decided that no-one else should experience what he did and made a concerted effort to ensure that fathers' mental health was recognised and that the voice of fathers everywhere was heard. He realised it had to be a national and well as international effort and founded International Fathers Mental Health Day and #Howareyoudad campaign to make sure all parents have the support of the whole family as well as professionals. Both these achievements have received international acclaim.
