Update

Please see the latest Perinatal and Infant Mental Health Programme Board 2020-2021 delivery plan which was released on 3 July 2020.

The latest community standards for perinatal mental health services have also been released and the Perinatal Mental Health Network Scotland is also due to shortly release guidance for service development, which will be particularly useful, especially for areas that are currently underserved. They are helpful guides and standards for supporting your efforts to develop perinatal services in Scotland.
