摘要
ForWhen is an Australia-based national navigation service aimed at helping parents and carers navigate the perinatal mental health service landscape and connect them with appropriate support and clinical services. The current study forms part of a mixed-methods evaluation of the ForWhen program. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with ForWhen navigators during the early design and implementation phases of the service. Results were used to characterise the ForWhen navigator activities and responsibilities, identify navigator core competencies, and examine facilitators and barriers to successful implementation of a large-scale navigation program for perinatal and infant mental health. Further research will be crucial for evidencing the utility and potential of navigation models in addressing identified issues with access to treatment for perinatal and infant mental health issues.
