Cocoon FamilySupport

LAMBETH PARENTS! This is your last chance to complete the survey about perinatal mental health services in Lambeth. The survey will close on Thursday. Please complete it here: surveymonkey.co.uk/r/VLLBXJV #Lambeth #perinatalmentalhealth #newparents #baby #pregnancy #pnd

Our peer support and counselling services will stop from 31st March 💔 Please see our statement here: cocoonfamilysupport.org

I’m delighted to say that I’ve had a ⁦#zoom call with Santa this morning to discuss his route! We have cleared the airspace for him and he’s started to pack the sleigh! Santa had a specific request of you kids: - Stay safe - Be kind - Have fun Merry Christmas!

As if we weren't all exhausted & burnt out already 😵 The latest news is weighing heavy on our hearts & minds. Anger, frustration & sadness over lost Christmas. Now fear & panic as boarders close. We all need extra uplifting support right now! Our gift: bit.ly/3reIXMt

In the last 30 days, visits to our maternal mental wellbeing guidance have increased by 42%. There is a clear and present need for this information. Please share to help us reach more mums who may be struggling with their mental health during lockdown: bit.ly/2Td0SDn

These are the many and varied faces of mental illness. Today is World Mental Health Day. Let's talk about mental illness with the same kindness and empathy we do any other illness. Let's be open and honest about our struggles.💜 #WorldMentalHealthDay

@RomaTheEngineer We are all in this together Roma. Thank you for being part of our perinatal family 💜

@gill_strachan @WeAreLSCFT @BurnleyPolice @LancsPolice All of our thoughts are with you and your team Gill. The perinatal mental health community is a family and we grieve with you. 💜

Our thoughts are with Dr Sacharvi’s family and friends at this time. She was a well loved and well liked colleague here at the Trust, described as “brilliant” and a “joy to work with”. Please follow @BurnleyPolice @LancsPolice for updates and if you have any info let them know.

@hatttiegladwell Incredible stuff Hattie! You will be helping so many people, as well as yourself most importantly, by being open and honest about your PND. Thank you! 💜

Thank you to @_prosperitys who highlighted that some of the recent terminology we used was not acceptable. We always welcome being educated to do better. Apologies if anyone was offended.

The Motherhood Group , along with our friends at the @PMHPUK, have organised Black Maternal Mental Health Week. Please follow @MotherhoodGroup to find out more. #BMMHW2020 #bmmhw20 #blackmentalhealthmatters

@cooksferryqueen Can we get an Amen?! We have been victim of this many times, working to get perinatal on the agenda and then contracts going to larger organisations who are more 'sustainable' or taken in house.

Makes me livid when NHS / charity professionals shunt out lived experience, those who've done the work, to co-opt peer support as their own. Some shocking behaviour in perinatal atm & I wish I could do more than subtweet! Might want to give an upcoming conference a wide berth.

If you are currently attending scans and appointments alone and wish to challenge visiting restrictions in your local Trust, find our template letter on our website: bit.ly/2RnCuOA #ButNotMaternity @Doula_Kicki @birth_better @aliciakearns

@lucianaberger Congratulations! We were all blown away when you spoke at our 1st birthday party, hosted by @TulipSiddiq at the HoC, when you were Shadow Minister for MH. What a wonderful appointment for everyone in the perinatal MH world!

and families, improve standards, and press for world-class mental health services for women before and after the birth of a child. Massive thanks to outgoing Chair, Dr Alain Gregoire who becomes President. I have very big boots to fill! #EveryonesBusiness

I’m delighted to have been appointed Chair of the @MMHAlliance. Perinatal mental health is a pressing issue for all of society - for too many, the standard of care still relies on your postcode. I am really looking forward to working with MMHA’s members to support women /1
