Families thrive with a blend of integrated support. Statutory services are vital in #perinatalmentalhealth, & so are #VCSE services providing consistent support in the heart of local communities. They're not mutually exclusive, they're integral.

Joined @BluebellCare @RWoBristol @BNSSG_ICB @BristolUni to visit our Green Social Prescribing 'Mother Nature' project with refugee women & their children. Created such joy & connection - especially as we all walked barefoot on wet grass & celebrated with Sudanese cake & coffee.

On #WorldMentalHealthDay it is important to include babies, young children and their families as part of the conversation and highlight just how fundamental sensitive, responsive and trusted relationships are to infant mental health and wellbeing. #First1001Days
