Following a loss, people can be referred to the MMHS by a range of health care professionals, including:
- Community midwife
- Specialist bereavement midwife
- GP
- Obstetrician
- Health visitor
- NHS Talking Therapies
- Secondary mental health services
- Other care professionals
Referrals should be made from at least one month following the loss to allow for natural healing to begin to take place.
Unfortunately, we are unable to accept self-referrals.
We are also unable to accept referrals for people in crisis as we are a therapy service without an MDT. These referrals should be directed to the Crisis Team.
Referrals should be made using the standardised referral form and emailed to dhcft.perinatalcmht@nhs.net
