West Yorkshire Paths is a specialist service. We offer psychological therapy and midwifery interventions for women and birthing people who are experiencing moderate to severe mental health needs from birth trauma and/or baby loss. This can include:
· Birth trauma, trauma from maternity and neonatal care
· Severe fear of birth
· Baby and pregnancy loss up to one year old; loss during fertility treatment and parent/infant separation at birth by childcare proceedings.
We offer support to people who live in Leeds, Bradford and Craven, Wakefield, Kirklees, and Calderdale.
We accept referrals on our birth trauma, baby loss and tokophobia pathways for women without their babies or with babies over one year old. For women and birthing parents who are pregnant or with a baby under one year old please consider a referral to the local perinatal mental health team or Talking Therapies.
We accept referrals for women who are currently pregnant and have been issued with a Public Law Outline (PLO) on our loss due to safeguarding procedures pathway.
