Providing help for practitioners to support parents and grandparents during the perinatal period, this book offers advice on how to maintain good mental wellbeing. 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 and Wellbeing is an essential guide for recognising parents' deteriorating mental health, helping them to improve it, leading them to recovery.

Press Reviews
Susan Pawlby, Clinical, academic developmental psychologist
Hanley and Williams offer excellent, unique practical solutions of support around mental health during pregnancy, birth and postnatally for and by mothers, fathers, siblings, grandparents, family, friends and communities. It takes a village to raise a child.
Professor Vivette Glover, Imperial College London
This is an excellent book on support for perinatal mental health. It is simple and easy to read. And importantly, it covers much more than standard texts on mothers. It gives full attention to fathers, the child, and even includes grandparents.
