Are you interested in perinatal mental health?

Researchers from the University of Sydney are seeking expressions of interest from current or expectant parents and healthcare professionals to participate in workshops to develop a perinatal depression and anxiety screening and referral service and resources for parents in community pharmacy.

You may be eligible if you:

• are parents and/or expectant parents living in Australia
• Have lived experience of perinatal depression or anxiety (preferrable, but not disqualifying) or;
• Have been screened for perinatal depression or anxiety in Australia (preferrable, but not disqualifying)
• are a healthcare professional (GPs, pharmacists, psychologists, psychiatrists, nurses, and midwives) who are practising and residing in Australia

What’s involved?

Participate in a 2–3-hour workshop to provide feedback on:

• What a perinatal depression and anxiety screening and referral service in community pharmacy should look like
• The educational needs of pharmacists and their support staff
• Relevant resources such a service may need

Participants will be reimbursed $200.
