Liesje Donkin Psychology and Consulting

19/01/2025

We are a team of researchers at AUT conducting research and are seeking to hear from people who have been pregnant, experienced pregnancy loss, or have given birth in the last four years and have experienced pregnancy-related distress (such as depression, anxiety, OCD or trauma) or whānau/support people who have supported someone experiencing distress or have experienced this distress themselves. We would like to hear about your perspectives of wellbeing (mauri ora) and of distress (mauri noho), and how the distress was picked up by healthcare professionals (if it was). We would also like to hear your views about how healthcare professionals could better pick up when someone is distressed. There are two ways to be part of this project; by a confidential interview or by doing an online anonymous survey.
