So proud of this and I’m hopeful it will make a difference to lots of parents like me who are nervous about reaching out for support. Particularly in a world where parents are having less face to face support & more onus is on them to reach out 💜 #perinatalmentalhealth
This has been a resource we have wanted to do for a long while now! After chatting with parents to get it just right we can now share with you our resource for helping parents to reach out for support 💜 #perinatalmentalhealth #support

Parents voices are often not consulted when decisions are made around services and so I wrote a report to try and ensure parents could be heard!

The implications are profound. Health visitors are often the only professionals who see a parent regularly in the 1st 5 years of their child’s life. When this service is cut, risks go unnoticed, mental health needs are missed, & preventable problems escalate

Becoming a parent is a daunting & challenging time. My health visitor was invaluable so it makes me sad to hear that services are being cut further & further & that this support is just not available in the way it once was. Read my report here:

This video is bitter sweet! At the time I was struggling with postnatal depression in a pandemic & can remember how hopeless everything felt! However it also acts as a huge reminder as to how far I’ve come over the last 5 years! 😍
It felt poignant for this to pop up today on awareness week when the daily theme is positivity pot! When this video was made I wasn’t in a great place so it’s lovely to look back now & see how far we’ve come since then! 💜 https://t.co/BaXUj471VN

My husband’s been going through lots of tests for this over the last couple of months so have unbelievable respect for Lindsey and all she does to raise the profile of MND 💜
Well done Lindsey Burrow, supported by her brother Mark Newton, on completing the London marathon. They did it for Rob, and all those living with MND, and unbelievably Lindsey takes on the Leeds marathon next in two weeks time. 💙💛

9 years ago today I became a mummy for the first time!! I can’t even comprehend how much becoming a parent has shaped my life, changed my life and everything in between!! I wouldn’t change any of it though!! 😃

On Sunday I’ll be running London Landmarks half marathon for @MMHAlliance . I’m so nervous & it feels so far but knowing I’m supporting parents makes it worth every step! Please donate if you can - even if just the cost of a coffee as every penny helps!!

Tapering begins ahead of the half marathon in 3 weeks! Not going to lie I’m terrified but it’s all worth it to raise money for @MMHAlliance & the amazing work they do for parents like me. Even if can you donate the cost of a coffee it’s all so helpful: https://t.co/2Ele0VBUw0
