dc.description	This research project sought to gather the experiences of partners from the NHSGGC Perinatal and Infant Mental Health Network in engaging with Black and Ethnic Minority women and their families during the perinatal period. Whilst the perinatal period can be a vulnerable time for all women, research highlights that BAME women are at greater risk of developing mental health problems. Their vulnerability is further exacerbated due to additional factors of culture and ethnicity, stigma attached to mental health, language barriers, lack of awareness of supports available and many more. The purpose of the research was to; identify the challenges which organisations face in engaging with the women and families from these communities; explore what support organisations would need to help them engage more effectively with the women and their families, and identify examples of good practice in engagement. Following completion of the research, a thematic analysis was carried out which concluded that the findings resonated with findings from other recently published research with BAME communities. This is the thematic analysis which goes along side the final report Supporting the mental health of black and minority ethnic women and families during the perinatal period.
