Maternal Mental Health Survey

In conjunction with our campaign work for Maternal Mental Health Month, we're researching the support and care provisions and whether women feel the support (if any) was adequate. This survey will cover difficult topics, including postnatal depression and mental health provisions in the UK.

We think it’s really important to hear from mums on this subject to help us raise as much awareness and understanding of maternal mental health care as possible, and all responses will be kept anonymous.

However, we advise that if any of the questions are triggering for your experiences, to step away and focus on taking care of yourself as a priority.
1.As an expecting, or new parent, have you struggled with your mental health in any way?
2.Have you experienced any of these symptoms? (Please tick all that apply)
3.Did you seek any help, see your GP or call any helplines?
4.If you sought help, at what point did you recognise that you were struggling with your mental health and that you needed help?
5.If you have sought help for your maternal mental health concerns, were you encouraged by someone else to ask for help? (Please tick all that apply)
6.If you sought help, how long did it take to speak to your GP?
7.What sort of appointment was it?
8.Were you offered medication? If so, was it before you were offered any other help?
