    Overview of this webinar

    Social factors, stigma and cultural differences in how mental health is perceived are known to affect access to healthcare. Regional and remote areas bring unique challenges.

    Two services in the UK (ROSHNI) and Australia (E-PIMH) will present how they have adapted their models of care to improve access to perinatal infant mental health services considering the unique needs of their communities.

    ROSHNI is a national scale research study, designed to address the rise of British South Asian (BSA) women who experience post-natal depression.

    E-PIMH is a Telepsychiatry service run by Queensland Centre for Perinatal & Infant Mental Health, providing specialist perinatal and infant mental health psychiatry across regional and remote areas with limited service access.
