Perinatal mental health

The perinatal mental health service extends specialised assessment and treatment to mothers, birthing parents, and their families residing in Rotherham and Doncaster.

The service operates in partnership between Rotherham, Doncaster, and South Humber NHS Foundation Trust, alongside Light, a local perinatal peer support charity.

How we can help

We offer confidential and non-judgmental care and treatment to women and birthing parents experiencing mental health challenges. This includes those planning to have a baby, currently pregnant, or who have given birth within the past 12 months.

How to get help

To access our services, a referral must be made by a health or social care professional working in Rotherham or Doncaster. This referral could come from your GP, community mental health team, midwife, or health visitor.
