The Perinatal Trauma and Loss Team (PTLT) is a psychologically led team which is part of the Perinatal Mental Health Service at South West London and St George’s Mental Health NHS Trust.

The PLTL recently released this leaflet to explain the specialist mental health services they offer to new parents, people becoming parents, and those who have experienced pregnancy loss. 

The leaflet also contains lots of useful referrals to other services.
