Lecture in the series “Music and Medicine“Speaker: Rosie Perkins (Centre for Performance Science, Royal College of Music | Imperial College London, UK)
Postnatal depression (PND) is characterised by persistent low mood, sadness, feelings of hopelessness, sleep problems, and frightening thoughts. PND is linked with postnatal loneliness, and social support for new parents is identified as a key means of prevention and support for perinatal mental health problems.
This talk will illuminate a programme of work at the Royal College of Music London that has aimed to address some of these challenges through in-person and online music interventions for women experiencing symptoms of PND and loneliness. Details will be shared of the rationale for this work, the coproduced development of the interventions, the research findings demonstrating their effectiveness, and implications for healthcare and music professionals.
Rosie Perkins is Professor of Music, Health, and Social Science at the Royal College of Music London. Based in the Centre for Performance Science. Her research investigates two broad areas within music and mental health: how music and the arts support societal wellbeing and how to enhance artists’ wellbeing and career development.
