Our research<\/h1>\n
We conduct research into the following areas:<\/p>\n
01.\u00a0\u00a0Perinatal mental health<\/a> Women who are vulnerable in pregnancy due to, for example, mental health issues, abuse, addiction or being in care, are likely to be more anxious, depressed and produce higher levels of stress-related hormones than women who are not.<\/p>\n Evidence is growing that depression, stress and anxiety in pregnant women can:<\/p>\n Both of these pathways are likely to harm mother-baby interactions. Since poor mother-baby interactions and maternal mental health strongly predict child maltreatment, prenatal rather than postnatal interventions may be more effective in preventing harm to infants in these cases.<\/p>\n DAWN-P is a study looking at ways of improving the identification of postnatal depression symptoms in new parents through a smartphone app.<\/p>\n We are currently looking for pregnant people to take part in this study. Learn more on the DAWN-P study<\/a> page.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n PIPPA is a study investigating the use of a self-directed positive parenting programme, called Triple P, to support parents with psychosis.<\/p>\n We are currently looking for parents with psychosis to take part in this study.

Parenting has been referred to as one of the hardest jobs in the world. This can be particularly applicable when parents are experiencing difficulties due to severe mental health conditions.<\/p>\n We aim to understand the experience of families where a parent has severe mental health conditions, as well as the potential impact of parental mental health issues on children.<\/p>\n Ongoing projects in this area:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n Studies that we have previously undertaken in this area include:<\/p>\n < Back to top<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Parenting a child with long-term health conditions can lead to difficulties. Getting your child to take the treatment they need can be a struggle.<\/p>\n Often, parents wonder how they can make sure their children take their medicines when they should, and their child’s illness can cause extra stress.<\/p>\n Children sometimes behave in difficult ways that can lead to a worsening of their symptoms, which also makes their parents worry. Families can end up in cycles of stress, which can make the illness more difficult to manage, and sometimes parents feel overwhelmed.<\/p>\n We aim to investigate the effectiveness of parenting interventions in providing support for parents of children with physical health conditions.<\/p>\n Studies that we have previously undertaken in the past in this area include parenting programmes for conditions such as asthma, diabetes and cancer.<\/p>\n < Back to top<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Connect Title” module_class=”footer-section” _builder_version=”3.0.90″ background_color=”#1d1d1d” custom_padding=”0px||0px|” global_module=”380″][et_pb_row parallax_method_1=”off” parallax_method_2=”off” parallax_method_3=”off” admin_label=”row” module_id=”footer-row” _builder_version=”3.0.89″ locked=”off”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Contact Us Title” _builder_version=”3.0.74″ text_text_color=”#ffffff” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” background_layout=”dark”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Contact Us” module_class=”contact-us” _builder_version=”3.17.6″ text_text_color=”#aaaaaa” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off”]<\/p>\n Email:\u00a0prime@gmmh.nhs.uk<\/a> [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Find Us Title” _builder_version=”3.0.74″ text_text_color=”#ffffff” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” background_layout=”dark”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Address” module_id=”address” _builder_version=”3.0.87″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” background_layout=”dark” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n The University of Manchester [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Connect Title” _builder_version=”3.0.74″ text_text_color=”#ffffff” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” background_layout=”dark”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_code admin_label=”Social Media” _builder_version=”3.17.6″]<\/p>\n
