Sam will unpack the global research and Pink Elephants-led domestic research that highlights without support women are experiencing long-term poor mental health outcomes. Miscarriage is a traumatic event for many that can impact a parent for many years to come through experiences such as subsequent pregnancies and even the early days of parenting. Whilst we\u2019ll highlight the evidence for the need we\u2019ll ensure a clear referral pathway to different support is mentioned and different support modalties and outcomes communicated.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_team_member][et_pb_team_member name=&#8221;Jenny Addy&#8221; position=&#8221;Strengthening Young Families in the  Perinatal Period; PANDA\u2019s Intensive Care and  Counselling Telehealth Program&#8221; image_url=&#8221;https:\/\/qpimhs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/8.png&#8221; disabled_on=&#8221;on|on|on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_font=&#8221;Meta Pro||||||||&#8221; header_text_color=&#8221;#003c68&#8243; body_font=&#8221;Meta Pro Book||||||||&#8221; body_text_color=&#8221;#003c68&#8243; body_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; position_font=&#8221;Meta Pro||||||||&#8221; position_text_color=&#8221;#0099cc&#8221; position_font_size=&#8221;24px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||70px||false|false&#8221; border_radii_image=&#8221;on|200px|200px|200px|200px&#8221; border_width_all_image=&#8221;4px&#8221; border_color_all_image=&#8221;#48a345&#8243; disabled=&#8221;on&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>The Intensive Care &amp; Counselling (ICC) Program provides medium term counselling, referral, service navigation and engagement support to families in the perinatal period, in Queensland and Victoria. Service users can access the ICC program via a referral from their health provider or by directly accessing the Perinatal Anxiety &amp; Depression Australia (PANDA) helpline. The service is delivered via phone and e-mail and is therefore accessible for people who live outside of metro regions as well as people who experience barriers in accessing face to face services due to adverse experiences.
