Where are Quebec's Perinatal Mental Health Services? A Review of Resources for Parental Mental Health.
The perinatal period is a time of significant change for parents, characterized by higher risks of mental health issues that can have long-lasting consequences on family wellbeing. The Quebec government's perinatal action plan aims to increase parental awareness of resources to support their mental health. We therefore reviewed publicly available and accessible information on perinatal mental health services in Quebec, including where they are delivered, by whom, their target populations, and how they address perinatal parental mental health. This commentary summarizes our findings, while highlighting missed opportunities for access to care, lessons learned, and ways forward for perinatal mental health.
