“There’ll be a dad in a hospital today just about to start the experience we’ve gone through.” This World Prematurity Month grab a coffee and take time to listen to the experiences of NICU Dads, recorded from our 2021 World Prematurity Day Festival. 📹 https://t.co/N6Onzk4OaZ

The perinatal and early years mental health team at SG are delighted that it's in. Investing in early years makes sense clinically and economically
We loved this graphic from @scotgovhealth's new Mental Health & Wellbeing Strategy, demonstrating the importance of getting #mentalhealth care right for parents & babies. Read the strategy here: https://t.co/tEyXeUPwO1

A good article about grief, and what to say and not say to those who are bereaved.
Grief is grief, writes Cariad Lloyd, https://t.co/6TVTClonoU. "This is particularly pertinent when it comes to talking about miscarriage or early pregnancy loss. ... They were pregnant, they worked out the due date ... they imagined a future, they are grieving."
