@SAfHUk Sure STEPS is a Tower Hamlets project that offers one-to-one peer-support for pregnant women or new parents struggling to deal with the challenges of parenting. You can make a referral for yourself or on behalf of someone else here: safh.typeform.com/to/TTMzpDrp

We’ve decided on a shelf for the unicorn. Thanks to all for kind words normalising the work-parent balance that so many are juggling amid #covid19 chaos ⁦@BBCNews⁩ ⁦⁦⁦@haynesdeborah⁩ Today Scarlett wants to be #superheroelsa

Services are under strain due to #COVID19 but the six-week postnatal check should continue as a high priority service. It was included in the GP contract for the first time this year as a result of our #HiddenHalf campaign. We want to make sure mums get the support they need.

Absolutely. We discovered during a mental health crisis of a #SureSTEPS mum that she had been discharged from mental health services. No notice or follow up. We are convinced that if she had been richer, whiter and from a professional background this would not have happened.

@birthrightsorg Absolutely!

We've been hearing from a number of places which are specifying that #birthpartners must be from the same household. We would consider this to be a profound restriction of rights & open to legal challenge #CovidMaternity 1/2

We have launched a new infographic for anyone wanting to explain what infant mental health is and why it matters. #IMHAW2020 Download a copy here: parentinfantfoundation.org.uk/new-infographi…

We have launched a #crowdfunder for Sure STEPS! Please donate and share to enable us to continue supporting Tower Hamlets parents who are struggling. avivacommunityfund.co.uk/sure-steps #crowdfunding #community #parenthood #isolation

Thank you for highlighting this. Many (us included) thought pregnant women/new mothers had been released. Shocking to find this has been so slow. 😔

We are continuing to support communities across East London through the #Covid_19 crisis. For our latest updates during this time, please follow our main Twitter account: @SAfHUK To read more about our response to the pandemic, please visit: safh.org.uk/blog/2020/4/22… #StaySafe

@RoyalLondonHosp Congratulations everyone! Well done @THhomebirth on keeping the service going throughout. You are one of few teams in the country who have done so. 🙌👏🙌👏

Another 100 year old raising money. This time for refugee healthcare. Go Mr Choudhury 💪👍😀

❤️🥰❤️

@THhomebirth @barkantine Thank you! 🙏

Wow wow wow. One #Homebirth done, two more in progress. The women of Tower Hamlets are keeping the #Homebirthteam on their toes. Literally could not have managed any one of them today without the support of @barkantine and their incredible team. #Teamwork

Shameful scare inducing tabloid rubbish. Maternity services continue despite COVID19. If care and visiting has been reconfigured at this time it is for the safety of mum, baby and staff. Ignore the press, listen to your midwives and obstetricians @RLHMaternity @RoyalLondonHosp

@Brthcompanions @AIMS_online @birthrightsorg We increasingly see this issue. Impact obviously much worse for those who don’t understand ‘the system’, leading to growing mistrust and disengagement. Viscous Circle.
