Introduction
Perinatal mental health problems (see useful information from Mind on the range of problems women experience) affect a lot of new and expectant mums – up to 27%. That’s a lot of women and as a funder of arts for people with mental health problems, we are interested in what the creative health sector is offering to them. The answer so far is (just) a handful of wonderful projects, which are explored in this blog.
