Abstract

Perinatal mental health was one of the first new actions of the regional perinatal policy advisory committee through a multidisciplinary working group starting in 2019 with Global Alliance for Maternal Mental Health as an example. IDF region experienced elevated maternal mortality rate and suicide was the first direct cause, with estimated evitability greater than 50%. Postpartum depression is higher in IDF than in other hexagonal French regions. Some perinatal networks took part in territorial mental health projects (a national directive). National “1000 first days plan” focus on parents mental health (2020).

How to assess the impact of prioritization from Regional health agency followed by national actions?

We use our regional Perinatal health Information System data, meeting minutes of the working group and perinatal networks activity reports analyzes, allocated budgets in perinatal pathways and psychiatry.

The working group developed regional perinatal mental health plan is based on 5 axes:
Mental health troubles systematic identification by every perinatal professional at any occasion with training among perinatal networks
Multidisciplinary medico-psycho-social meetings during pregnancy
Enhancement of territorial care resources in perinatal mental health
Support structures
Assessment

We can already establish a picture of the degree of achievement of this plan but measuring the results in perinatal mental health will need further investigation.
