Women’s mental health
The Manchester Centre for Women’s Mental Health is a unique grouping of lead researchers on women, families and mental illness comprising international experts on prenatal and postnatal maternal environmental effects, developmental psychology and attachment and the influence of severe mental illness on these.
In addition, clinical projects work with women in prisons and in families with severe mental illness.
The centre provides an exciting multidisciplinary environment where basic neuroscience techniques blend with observational epidemiology and public health approaches for the production, dissemination and translation of world-class research in maternal, offpring and women’s mental health.
