Survey: Tell us about parental mental health!
Following Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week (2 – 8 May 2022), as well as the increased concerns around mental health during the pandemic, we decided we wanted to find out a bit more about parental mental health in Trafford. According to the Royal College of Psychiatrists, around 10 to 15 in every 100 women experienced postnatal depression as of 2018. That number may have changed, and there are a number of other mental health problems that can affect both the person giving birth as well as their partner. Did you know that postnatal depression has been shown to affect fathers?
We want to ensure that information about local support is up to date and also whether further work is needed in this area. Our findings will be made available to the public online, and will be shared with any relevant service providers. Remember, your voice matters and by sharing your stories you can help improve health and social care in Trafford.
About our research
The information collected will always be anonymised, so you will not be identifiable by your answers and can be completely open and honest. The demographic and contact information is used only by Healthwatch Trafford to send out surveys to the right people and to make sure that our information is as representative of the borough as possible. Your personal details will never be passed on or supplied to any other organisation and we will only ever use it for the purposes of the project. You can unsubscribe at any time, and we will remove all details upon request.
All the questions are optional, so you don’t have to fill something out if you don’t want to! By giving us your details, we can let you know about future surveys and provide occasional news and updates. You can unsubscribe at any time, and we won’t share your information with anyone else.
