Anyone can face mental health challenges during or after pregnancy. But for mums who’ve had their children removed, the risk is even higher.
Our listening project with Her Circle aimed to centre these women’s voices and challenge the stigma they face.

This new report from @centreformh.bsky.social recognises maternal mental health as a critical aspect of infant development. We support their call on the UK Government to improve mental health support for mothers and birthing people during the perinatal period as one way to #InvestInChildhood.
The Government must act now to turn around the recent rise in mental health problems among children and young people. By investing in evidence-based, cost-effective prevention strategies, it can ensure every child has the best chance of good mental health: tinyurl.com/4dxsn69k #InvestInChildhood

This is so important MH should be an integral part of support not just for maternity care but Health visiting too.
“To help tackle fear and stigma, we need support for mental health to be as much a part of maternity care as monitoring the physical health of mothers and babies.” Karen Middleton, Head of Campaigns and Policy at the MMHA www.independent.co.uk/life-style/h... #PerinatalMentalHealth #MakeAllCareCount
