MyPlan Perinatal Service - Touchstone (Bradford)

Sorry we have been quiet lately! Sadly March marks the end of the MyPlan service in Bradford, so we have been extremely busy making sure our parents get the support they need before we finish. Jayne enjoyed meeting up with some parents for fresh air and a cuppa yesterday 🌳 ☕️

Time to Talk Day 2023 is on Thursday 2 February. The day is all about bringing people and communities together, to talk about mental health. It's important to Talk!!!

It's such a good feeling, when you know that your support has helped someone! #feedbackfromoneofmymums!

Welcome to Yasmin our new Mental Health Worker who has joined the team this week, just in time to celebrate with us at Touchstones annual away day!

To mark World Breast/Chest Feeding Week, our @touchstone_mp team has shared thoughts around #perinatal mental health, feeding your baby and the importance of good, inclusive support from health professionals: touchstonesupport.org.uk/perinatal-ment… #WorldBreastfeedingWeek #WorldChestfeedingWeek

We’ve got some helpful tips for keeping baby cool during this heatwave. For advice on keeping your baby hydrated when it’s hot, take a look at the NHS website: bit.ly/3nT0SI7

Beat the Heat For some women being pregnant over summer can be a challenge. Heatwaves and high temperatures can put you at risk of dangers like dehydration and sunstroke.So it’s important to find ways of keeping cool when pregnant.

We love a good visual and find this can really help when starting up conversations about what perinatal mental health is. Thanks for sharing @PPSAWestYorkshi

We have the dates for our upcoming summer walks. Mums to be and new mums are welcome and you don’t have to receive our one to one support to access these walks. Phone Jayne on 07919967116 to book a place!
