Supporting families – better care for women, children and young people

Start Well

LEAD: Nerys Astbury

CO-LEAD: Ruta Buivydaite

Evidence shows large gaps in care and outcomes for women during pregnancy and after child brith. At the same time, children and young people are facing the highest levels of depression and anxiety. Our work is trying to find ways to improve these experiences.

We are looking at ways to ensure that women, whatever their background, can access the support they need and have a good experience throughout pregnancy and as a new parent.

We are also working with children and young people to understand the changing nature of mental health support needs and how easily they can access this support online or through digital apps.
