Well it has been awhile, but life at Hope House has been steaming ahead at a fast paste. The Perinatal Mental Health Project at False Bay Hospital has been given the green light and we have already identified a counsellor, all we are waiting for is Funding. This is a very exciting project which we are linking with the Perinatal side of UCT Psychiatry and Mental Health to offer at the Hospital. All pregnant women will be screened for mental illness ( depression etc) and offered on site, immediate counselling. We will have a facility at the clinic so the women will be seen at the time of their hospital appointments.
It has been recognised that poverty, crime, abuse and being a teenage mom all contribute to mental health issues, which will inturn affect the baby. So this project has far reaching effects.
So if you know of and would be willing to Fund this project please contact Judy at Hope House 0217150424
