Our third message for #BabyCommunicationWeek24 is one we hope will take away stress and anxiety for new parents. Wanting to do the best for your baby comes from a place of love and care but there's a thing far better (& more realistic) than perfection and that is connection...🩷

Great to be thinking and sharing ideas about how we can make our neonatal psychology services more accessible and inclusive! So much to think and talk about! Privileged to do this alongside @itsmehibah #visionintoaction #neonatalpsychology @NeoLeaPEngland @TVWNeonatal

My first time wearing traditional Pakistani dress (shalwar kameez) while presenting at a conference! Would love to hear from other ethnic minority mental health professionals who do (or want to) wear traditional dress to work 💭

Exciting to be welcoming Marilyn Sanders to deliver our final keynote beaming across from the USA #visionintoaction #neonatalpsychology

Great interactive session from @REButterworth and @Dr_E_Headspace both a challenge and encouragement to help families to find the words to tell their stories, to be part of their healing and hope, but also recognising their experiences will be ‘re- storied’ over time too

Excited to join @itsmehibah and @JacintaCordwell to think about how psychological services can be more accessible and inclusive. And how curiosity is at the heart of this. #visionintoaction #neonatalpsychology

@VictoriaEMCraig gave us a great run down of her study she’s running at the moment on Tetris in neonatal care. So excited to learn more and have her on the podcast in the future #neonatalpsychology #visionintoaction

Sorting stories into themes - much lively discussion in the room! @REButterworth @Dr_E_Headspace #visionintoaction #neonatalpsychology

@Neonatalpsych shared some really incredible parent stories. Rebecca’s a really powerful story teller, such an honour to listen 💜 #neoleap #visionintoaction #neonatalpsychology

@Dr_E_Headspace and @REButterworth presented a wonderful workshop on narratives in the neonatal journey. Could have been a whole day workshop. Amazing to see the themes I see daily being spoken about by so many #neonatalpsychology #visionintoaction

The stories we tell have a powerful impact on our experiences in many ways- how do we make sense of what happened to us and others? @REButterworth @Dr_E_Headspace #visionintoaction #neonatalpsychology

Our Director of Policy & Governance, Dr. Jaime Craig attended @NeoLeaPEngland’s Vision into Action conference on behalf of ACP-UK, along with our Children, Young People and Families Network’s EbE, Victoria Walsh. We are proud to be a sponsor of Neoleap’s first annual conference.

And Marlyn Sanders talking about trauma for parents and NICU babies and the importance of skin to skin and family integrated care. Such important topics. Very hard knowledge to have when you had a very different experience to what should be #neonatalpsychology #visionintoaction

📢 Thrilled to share highlights from Dr Ruth Butterworth and Dr Ellie Atkins’ compelling presentation “The stories we tell: How narratives shape a neonatal journey” at today’s event. 🌟 Their insights on the power of storytelling in neonatal care were truly inspiring
