We campaign for great mental health care for babies, parents and carers during pregnancy and the first three years of life.

[Maternal Mental Health Alliance @MMHAlliance]

There's been significant progress in UK #PerinatalMentalHealth care but action is still needed to address persistent inequities. With the #AmplifyingMaternalVoices Toolkit we hope to empower individuals to create change locally. We can't wait to share it! #IWD24 #InspireInclusion

[Parent and Infant Mental Health Scotland @PIMHScot]

At this most unique time in their lives, parents want eye contact, interest and investment, not midwives who don't have time to look away from their notes.

Talking about the impact of high quality care on parental #mentalhealth, @dunkleybent says that high quality care would give sufficient time for antenatal appointments. @MidwiferyForum #midwiferyhour #MentalHealthMatters #MentalHealthAwareness

Decent appointment times allow midwives time to really listen and to build the kinds of relationships in which parents might feel safe to disclose their struggles. #mentalhealth #midwiferyhour #MentalHealthMatters #MentalHealthAwareness

Yay! We are ecstatic to announce Mamadinya aka Elizabeth Idowu as a panellist for our Black Maternal Health Conference UK!
In a sit-down conversation with @sandeeigwe, they will be discussing ’Challenging institutional racism and implicit bias within maternity care systems’ - exploring experiences of racism in maternity care while ensuring accountability.

Honestly - this is not an event to be missed for all. Register via https://t.co/pKNhVLSK7n #BMHCUK #Mamadinya #midwife

[Maternal Mental Health Alliance @MMHAlliance]

"...many still fear the reaction of friends, families & even social services if they make their experience of postpartum psychosis or other mental illnesses known. This poses a barrier not just to public awareness but also access to support and treatment." https://t.co/hd1CidvOyt
