The Perinatal Trauma and Loss Service  have launched their second pathway, Loss Through Separation in the north of the region. This pathway will be supporting birthing women and parents who are experiencing moderate to severe mental health challenges following separation from their baby within the perinatal period (first 12 months of baby's life). The PTLS clinical psychologists and specialist midwives will provide time-limited evidence-based psychological therapy and midwifery support focused on the impact of perinatal loss/separation on mental health. They offer:

• Therapeutic modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Prolonged Grief Disorder Therapy (PGDT), Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT).
• Specialist midwifery advice and support relating to loss and pregnancy after loss or separation. This includes individualised compassionate birth and separation planning, advocacy, and liaison to prevent and reduce trauma in birth and separation.
