This is a short training course, developed as part of a research and clinical intervention programme in perinatal mental health.
Mental illness is the main undiagnosed obstetric complication in pregnancy and postpartum, affecting 20-35% of women and 10% of men when there is no psychiatric history, and doubling when there is.
Given the prevalence and impact of perinatal mental illness, specific training is proposed, in order to sensitise and train professionals who intervene in pregnancy and post-partum to a holistic approach, favouring the promotion of mental health in the perinatal period.
