This competition has now closed – congratulations to our winner Gemma Brook!
We’re happy to shout from the rooftops that this week is the UK’s first Maternal Mental Health Awareness week (1st-7th May) led by the Perinatal Mental Health Partnership. According to a recent survey by the Royal College of Obstetricians, an estimated 1 in 5 women develop a mental illness during pregnancy or within the first year of their baby’s life yet only 7% of those women reported receiving specialist care. Too many women feel pressured to portray an image of being the ‘perfect parent’ and feel unable to seek the support they need from their friends, family or healthcare professionals. Throughout the week, charities and organisations are running events to focus on how and where mums and their families can seek help and mental health support, as well as sharing real life stories, positivity and tips for recovery. Check out the #PNDhour nightly discussion from 8-9pm run by Rosey from PND&Me or check out the fantastic advice and support available from Mind and the PANDAS foundation.
