Promoting women’s access to evidence-based perinatal mental health promotion programs

This project aims to define the implementation strategies of the Be a Mom program in the context of the National Healthcare System (e.g., who will present Be a Mom to women, when and how) and to test its efficacy (i.e., women’s access and adherence to the program) in two different health contexts from two different regions of Portugal (Centro Hospitalar Cova da Beira e Hospital Distrital de Évora). The results of this pilot project will inform a national strategy of implementing the Be a Mom program within the national healthcare context. This project is being executed in partnership with the National Coordination for Mental Health Policies.
