It's time to have more culturally, linguistically and religiously appropriate mental health care #BMMHW

[The Motherhood Group @MotherhoodGroup]

It's Black Maternal Mental Health Week (#BMMHW23 #BMMHW).
This year's theme is #BreakingCulturalBarriers. A lack of understanding and awareness of different cultures can affect the experiences of Black mothers. In pregnancy and in the early stages of motherhood.
Hear from some new mothers about how this can impact their mental health.

We would like to speak to more families who would be willing to share their experiences of neonatal palliative and/or end of life care, to help understand how we can improve the support given to families cross the country @Blisscharity @SandsUK @Tog4ShortLives @DrKatie_G

[@peeps-HIE @PeepsHie]

If you work on a neonatal unit, have you got our free parent packs in stock?

They are for any family who receives an H.I.E. diagnosis (regardless of cause or outcome), and contain gentle information put together by parents, with parents, for parents.

We’d love to hear what you think if you have them, and if you haven’t please get in touch 🌻 #HeardOfHIE

[Brazelton Centre UK @BrazeltonUK]

Here is the final message that we think every new parent should hear! Your sensitive, responsive love and care for your newborn - though they may feel like small things - are the very things that drive an incredible period in your baby's development. ✨
