Cesa Pratiwi (Indonesia)
About Cesa’s project:
The study aims to explore what women with perinatal mental health problems expect from their families and how the women’s families perceive their role to support women who have perinatal mental health problems. It is expected that research into women’s perinatal mental health problems involving the husband and/or other family members, such as the woman’s mother, could provide insights regarding the opportunity to establish a ‘safety net’ for women with perinatal mental health problems.
