This #WorldMentalHealthDay I want to remind everyone that #perinatalmentalillness affects up to 20% of new mums & 1/10 new dads. 74% (RCOG) of these will never have had any prior mental illness at all! Always keep it in mind and make every contact count! 💕

As #earlyyearswellbeingweekdraws to a close for another year, here is a thread. Please share to enable us to raise awareness and increase mental health literacy with as many #earlyyears educators as possible! #EYWW2023 Thread🧵

Variations of “I felt like such a failure” are littered throughout my interview transcripts talking to new parents about loneliness. Let me tell you, they were not failures. They had been failed. Failed by a society that doesn’t value parenting. Failed by under resourced services

I am overwhelmed 🥰😭💜 Thank you so much to those of you who made this happen. I am beyond thankful 🫶
