New paper: interventions that prevent or reduce perinatal loneliness
🤩 New paper announcement 🤩 What interventions might work to prevent or reduce perinatal loneliness? Our review found six types of intervention and identified five common mechanisms that positively impacted social outcomes. We argue that more research is needed to explore interventions for fathers, LGBTQ+ parents, and neurodiverse parents, among many others. We argue interventions should be co-produced with the intended users, and that creative and online approaches are becoming more common. Thanks to the NIHR Three Schools Mental Health Programme for funding this research and to everyone who contributed. Read here, and it’s open access.
