Managing abuse and trauma in the peripartum period in the 21st century

Managing abuse and trauma during the peripartum in the 21st century

Trauma and abuse during the peripartum period often go unrecognized because screening is not routinely conducted, leading to serious adverse effects on maternal mental health, obstetric and neonatal outcomes, and mother–infant bonding.

The talk emphasizes that women’s trauma, trauma histories, and abuse during the peripartum period are often not acknowledged or screened for and therefore remain unrecognized and unaddressed, despite their now well-established adverse effects on women’s mental health. It also highlights serious direct and indirect adverse consequences for the fetus and newborn, including an increased risk of obstetric complications and neonatal health problems such as low birth weight for gestational age, prematurity, and poor neonatal adaptation. This jeopardizes the quality of mother–infant interaction and bonding, increases the burden on the mother, and undermines the infant’s emotional development. The talk explains that proactive policies in perinatal care aimed at protecting women from spousal or intimate partner violence, supported by dedicated professionals, help identify women who have experienced trauma and create opportunities to provide care. It identifies the current challenge as extending care to encompass pregnancy, the newborn, and children already in the family, and uses examples to illustrate how community-based mental health services can address these issues with appropriate clinical and legal tools.
