UPlusE for pregnant women

Strengthening mental health around the birth

Around 15% of mothers and 5% of fathers develop mental health problems such as depression or anxiety disorders during pregnancy or after the birth. These often go unrecognized - out of shame or insecurity. This is precisely where UPlusE comes in: The parent screening provides clarity at an early stage and gives you security in a sensitive phase of life.
