Following success of last year’s conference I’m so excited to be planning this one. It will be online this year 💙

This is important.

Who is holding the baby? This #infantmentalhealthweek focuses on raising awareness of the critical gaps in support for vulnerable families and babies. If we can offer you or someone you know that vital support, please get in touch.

Three APP guides – Planning pregnancy: a guide for women at high risk of postpartum psychosis (PP); PP: a guide for partners; and Recovery after PP – are available in Arabic, Polish, Slovak and Urdu. Find out more and download them for free here: ow.ly/mCxc50UTaEp

I'm excited to share with you all a new project that I've been working on with the British Pilgrimage Trust to support families affected by birth trauma. BPT have worked with me to plan a beautiful new walking route as a restorative journey along rivers, over hills and to the ancient heart of Bath, for any parents who have experienced difficult births. I've been on their wonderful walks before and I found it to be a hugely healing experience whilst I recovered from my own difficult birth. So please join us on this healing pilgrimage walk to Bath over the weekend of July 5th. More information below👇 BOOK NOW @PilgrimTrust britishpilgrimage.org/events/mothers…

Aspects which resonated with me: 1. A need to view women's health as a life course priority, not merely one of reproductive capacity. 2. Protect bodily autonomy in decision-making. 3. "Women are not just little men". Considering them as such is dangerous for health outcomes

Welcome to Day 2 of our @PMHPUK #maternalmentalhealthawarenessweek where the theme is: Walking With You As You Find Your Voice- Supportive Organisations. We will be highlighting the work of organisations that work with people affected by perinatal mental illness.

Let’s talk about maternal mental health! Around 1 in 4 women experience perinatal mental health problems. A range of mental health conditions can affect mothers during the perinatal period – anxiety and depression disorders being the most common #MMHAW25

Proud to support the new @MMHAlliance Perinatal Mental Health Symptom Checker💜This tool helps parents spot signs of common & lesser-known mental health conditions during & after pregnancy inc perinatal OCD - please share: maternalmentalhealthalliance.org/parents #ItStartsWithAwareness #MMHAW25
