“There is a deep understanding of the mental health burden associated with CHD and appreciation for the need for a dedicated response.

“When cardiac and mental health care go hand-in-hand, we normalise emotional responses to health challenges and reduce the stigma surrounding mental health.”

The Heart and Mind Wellbeing Center is working with Cincinnati Children’s Hospital’s Fetal Heart Program to do ground-breaking research into parent mental health.

More than 30 studies are being conducted and supported by the centre. All these work with patients and their families as partners.
