SUMMARY:Developing a screening tool for common perinatal mental health con

 xts…and then? - Professor Simone Honikman (University of Cape Town)

DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nIn South Africa\, perinatal depression\, anxiety 
 and suicidality are highly prevalent. Screening may provide a crucial entr
 y point to care and may mitigate the substantial treatment gap for perinat
 al women. Commonly used screening tools from the Global North\, while vali
 dated in South Africa\, do not perform well in service settings. The Perin
 atal Mental Health Project developed an ultra-brief screening tool through
  psychometric validation and cognitive testing. This tool has been integra
 ted into guidelines and standard procedures in maternity care across the c
 ountry. However\, uptake of screening by maternity staff has been low. Sim
 one will describe the screening tool development process and discuss some 
 of the systems components that are required for implementation of maternal
  mental health screening to be successful.\nSpeakers:\nProfessor Simone Ho
 nikman (University of Cape Town)

DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nThe founding director will describe PMHP’s jour
 ney working with perinatal women who experience common mental health condi

  the project has worked to strengthen the systems that impact these women.
  She will highlight the challenges faced and key lessons learned over two 
 decades.\n\nAttendees will gain an understanding of the PMHP's efforts to 
 embed comprehensive mental health support within maternity care at healthc
 are facilities and within community organisations. The discussion will cov
 er the project’s experience with detection\, community engagement\, the 
 translation of policy to practice\, and provider capacity building\, inclu
 ding their approach to addressing the problem of obstetric violence.\n\nTh
 e PMHP's service model will be described and recent research findings will
  be presented. Discussion will relate to maternal mental health matters wi
 thin a broader global context. This session will encourage a pragmatic con
 sideration of strategies that address perinatal mental health concerns in 
 resource constrained settings.\nSpeakers:\nProfessor Simone Honikman (Univ
