The Listening Project (360G-cabinetoffice-GA-118145-18371)

40% of pregnant women in Great Yarmouth, the 25th most disadvantaged local authority in England, are identified by health visitors as at risk of post-natal depression. Great Yarmouth Community Trust provides a specialist Perinatal Infant Mental Health Service in its children's centre but half of all women who are at risk do not access these services due to anxiety and other problems. The grant will fund a Support Worker to provide home therapeutic listening visits? helping vulnerable mums to manage their anxieties and problems. It will also develop a small group peer mentoring project. It aims to prevent problems from developing or enable those in greater need to access support.
