Core modules in our partner programmes
Raising Awareness
We start with helping your organisation have a basic level of understanding of perinatal mental health. In collaboration with our research partner, wholeSUM, we will research (anonymously) how new parents and carers in your organisation currently feel about a range of topics influencing their mental health at work.
Essential Templates
From toolkits for your HR team and Line Managers/Supervisors (which you can access for free in our Toolkits page) to understanding how to take Health & Safety requirements a step further to include people returning from parental leave.
Policy Support
Know which policies should include perinatal mental health and how it should be included. For Gold Standard partners, we will provide expert HR consultancy to help you review and update your family and mental health policies.
Education and Training
Access a range of materials aimed at taking your knowledge about perinatal mental health from basic to more comprehensive. This can complement existing Mental Health First Aider training or support the implementation of Perinatal Mental Health Champions within your ERG’s or wider organisation.
Accessing Support
Understand how to enhance any existing EAP or Wellbeing programmes with support organisations designed exclusively for trying, expecting and new parents. You can also learn how to safely support internal discussions about perinatal mental health illnesses with our ‘Safe Storytelling’ resources.
Evaluation
A transparent and simple evaluation process will be completed at the point you feel ready to be assessed for your Standard or Gold Partner status. On successful completion, you will earn your badge which you can proudly display to show your dedication to setting and upholding a new standard of mental health care for new parents and carers.
