Today’s BBC Spotlight programme ‘Mums in Crisis’ investigates perinatal mental health care in Northern Ireland, showing just how urgently a Mother and Baby Unit (MBU) is needed to save lives and prevent life-long trauma.

There is no MBU in Northern Ireland, and APP is campaigning for this to change

New mum seems strange? Seek help. It could be postpartum psychosis, a treatable medical emergency.

Help make an urgent appointment with their doctor, midwife, health visitor or call 111. If you think there is imminent danger, call 999.

With help they will recover.
