This week is Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week - a campaign dedicated to talking about problems women may be experiencing before, during and after pregnancy.

It's all about raising public and professional awareness of perinatal mental health and advocating for those women and families impacted.

The Island's perinatal service was launched back in 2018 after healthcare professionals spotted a gap in services for women.

Leslie Murphy is Manx Care's Lead Midwife for Enhanced Care and Safeguarding.

Siobhán Fletcher caught up with her.
