The Scottish Perinatal Mental Health Care Pathways – Maternity and Neonatal Psychological Interventions Teams

Pathway 2: What are Maternity and Neonatal Psychological Interventions Teams? How can they help me and my family?

Maternity and Neonatal Psychological Interventions (MNPI) teams provide help if you have mental health problems related to the pregnancy or to giving birth, which can be treated with talking therapies. Treatments might include anxiety management, cognitive behaviour therapy and a range of other types of talking treatments. MNPI teams also help parents if their baby has additional problems and needs to spend time in hospital after birth.
