<p>Through the NHS Long Term Plan, we are committed to expanding and transforming
mental health services in England so that more people, including bereaved fathers
and partners following pregnancy or baby loss, can get the help and support that they
need.</p><p>As part of this, we are expanding access to psychological and talking
therapies within specialist perinatal mental health services. Specialist community
perinatal mental health services have now been rolled out in every part of England,
and should work closely with maternal mental health services, which are also being
rolled out, with 39 maternal mental health services currently available across England.
Fathers and other partners of women accessing specialist community care should be
able to access an evidence-based assessment for their mental health and signposting
to support as required. Individuals can also access psychological support by referring
themselves to NHS Talking Therapies. Details of local services are available at the
