Approaches to exploring and measuring suicidality in pregnant and postnatal women - PERINATAL MENTAL HEALTH SEMINAR SERIES


in-person only event

Dr Elizabeth (Liz) Dudeney is a Research Fellow at the Centre for Maternal and Child Health Research, City St George’s, University of London. Liz’s research explores suicidality during pregnancy and after birth with a specific focus on understanding the most acceptable, appropriate, and clinically relevant approaches for identifying and discussing suicidality with perinatal women in the context of maternity care. Liz’s research is currently informing the development of a perinatal suicidality eLearning training programme for professionals working with perinatal women (including midwives, health visitors, GPs, and social workers), in collaboration with Grassroots Suicide Prevention. Liz is also working on co-producing, revising, and validating a modernised depression measure that reflects contemporary perinatal experiences and language.
