We will be kick starting Perinatal Mental Health Awareness Week 2024 with our weekly coffee morning.
Join Claire and Michelle for your maternal mental health needs.
With Christmas fast approaching over the next 2 weeks we will be holding discussions around our mental health at Christmas time. Considering what tools we can put in place to self regulate our heighten anxieties and low mood.
I am covering #PNDHour tonight at 8pm for @PNDandMe . We are discussing the 4th trimester & the support needed during this time. After birth , parents need as much support as the previous three trimesters and while we know this is crucial, it is often lacking.

Last night we attended the Your Heroes Awards Ceremony in Stoke on Trent, and was blessed to receive the Highly Commended Community Group of the Year Award.
As part of Birth Trauma Awareness week we have included elements of topic in our group discussion today.
Maternal birth trauma is the distressed experiences during birth.
Birth trauma can also include how the mother was left feeling afterwards too.
For Infant Mental Health including Dads and Partners in NICE CG192 is vital and imagine what the impact would be if we routinely ask #Howareyoudad in Maternity? Let’s think about making perinatal mental health truly family inclusive @MarkWilliamsFMH@MMHAlliance@WHO@PMHMidwives
