Raising Awareness

Delphi set up a local support group in 2007 for women affected by depression in pregnancy and works hard to raise awareness of ante-natal depression.  She has approached the government, through its MPs, to keep ante-natal depression in the public eye.  She has personally spoken with Harriet Harman MP and visited Nadine Dorries MP at the Houses of Parliament to discuss ways to keep depression in pregnancy on the next government's agenda.

Delphi is a stakeholder in the National Institute for Clinical Excellences guidelines on Ante-natal and Post-natal Mental Health.  These guidelines are in place to ensure that health professionals work effectively with those affected by ante-natal and post-natal mental health problems.  You can view a copy of the guidelines here.
 
How did the website come about?

This website was set up through the encouragement of a community midwife called Zoe.  It also became possible because of the research Delphi found written by Dr Jonathan Evans in 2001 and Professor Nicky Stanley.  Thanks to their hard work, this information has helped changed the lives of thousands of women and their families.
