Influence of past trauma and health interactions on homeless women's views of perinatal care: a qualitative study.
CONCLUSION: Pregnancy offered a pivotal opportunity for homeless women to engage with care for their complex needs and improve self-care, despite mistrust of practitioners. Poor postnatal support and the distress of CLSS reinforced an ongoing cycle of grief, mental health crises, substance use relapse, and homelessness.
