Did you know research tells us that 1 in 5 women are thought to experience mental illness in pregnancy and into parenthood? 4 in 5 women may experience their journey with better mental health and this is currently an untold story! Much less is reported in research about what it means to be emotionally well or how the mental health of women and mothers could be improved during the perinatal experience.
PhD research within the School of Nursing at Curtin University seeks your participation as well as that of members of your association as key perinatal healthcare professionals working with pregnant women and mothers on their journey to parenthood.
