Upsetting to read the latest #mbrrace report. Suicide remains leading cause of death up to one year post birth for women and birthing people and 3x more likely to die compared to previous reports 1/4

[RCPsych Perinatal @rcpsychPeri]

This is devastating. @mbrrace reports that 3x more women died by suicide than during the 2017-2019 period.
The true impact of Covid, lockdown, poverty, financial crisis disproportionately on women with trauma histories

Find yourself constantly apologising? If you’re scared of your partner, we’re here to listen. Call our National Domestic Abuse Helpline for free on 0808 2000 247 or contact us online: https://t.co/U4oVJgAKaS

Leaving an abusive partner is a process. Sometimes you may not need or want to access refuge accommodation. Instead, you might prefer support in your own home or a safe place.

People who have been suicidal have often said it is a relief to talk about thoughts they are experiencing. Just being there to listen and showing you care can help.

Retweet to help us let everyone know it’s OK to ask about suicidal thoughts. It could save a life 💚 #WSPD
