Ruth Naughton-Doe - University of York Project Title: Facilitating further impact on policy and practice from the Coproducing Solutions to Perinatal Loneliness Project Brief Summary: The Co-producing Solutions to Perinatal Loneliness Project developed recommendations for preventing loneliness experienced by parents during pregnancy and up to two years after birth (the perinatal period). This is important as perinatal loneliness is linked with perinatal mental health problems, which can have lasting negative impacts for parents and children. This follow-on impact grant will 1. Create information booklets for parents and professionals. The booklet will be codesigned and translated into different languages. 2. Create a policy brief which is a two-page summary making recommendations to the UK Government on what they could change to reduce perinatal loneliness. 3. Build a new and improved website and brant to make our information easier to find. We will then share our new resources with policy and practice, including finding and contacting health and social care organisations and teams across England including teams within Local Authorities, Perinatal Mental Health Teams, and local and national voluntary sector perinatal mental health services. We will then share resources with these teams via the website and in a series of webinars. The National Children’s Bureau has also been commissioned to support us to shape and share our policy brief.
