Many mothers find that these changes are a positive experience, but some undergo emotional upheaval that can result in mental health problems. This is also a time for preventive perinatal interventions in order to promote strong attachment and positive parenting, thereby reducing mental health problems later for both mother and child.- Filetype

Offenders Positive Practice Guide
Offenders and their families represent one of the most socially excluded groups in our society, with some of the highest levels of morbidity, in terms of both physical and mental health problems. More than half the offenders in prison experience common mental health problems such as depression and anxiety, very often linked to issues such as a history of family poverty, family breakdown and substance misuse. Over half of the women in prison have experienced domestic violence and a third have experienced sexual abuse.1 The Fawcett Society estimates that 40% of women in prison will have received help for a mental or emotional problem in the year prior to custody.- Filetype
