Making Sense of the Unseen: Understanding Women’s Experiences of Suicidality in the Perinatal Period
- Project status: Active
Research area: Population Health > Intergenerational Health
Until now, maternal suicide has remained largely unseen by society, researchers, and many health professionals.
Our study, Making Sense of the Unseen, will begin to address this important gap in our knowledge.
The study aims to understand women’s experiences of thoughts of suicide during pregnancy and the following year (a time known as the perinatal period). The experiences that women share with us will help us to understand and help women and families impacted by suicidality in the perinatal period.
