"The voluntary & community sector is increasingly supporting parents with quite complex needs... some funders have done an amazing job but we have concerns that this might be short-term. We need long-term financial infrastructure." Natalie from The Hearts & Minds Partnership #MaternalPandemic

Excited to be attending the @WATCthechildren annual conference this morning with two of my favourite professionals and speakers, Steve Biddulph and Naomi Stadlen! About to start...☺️😃

Steve Biddulph describes himself as a “non expert” because parents are the experts on their own children ❤️ Important message to all professionals, take care not to undermine parents’ gut instincts #fullyhuman @WATCthechildren Parents 1st UK

Naomi Stadlen says that most mothering and love-giving is unconscious, babies “help themselves” ❤️ Are you doing enough? Are you giving enough? Yes you are! @WATCthechildren #goodenoughparenting

Catching up on the Maternal Mental Health Alliance webinar presenting their crucial report on the impact of Covid on maternal mental health. Value of third sector input highlighted. Feeling passionate about extending our services and reach!#MaternalPandemic

Third sector grass roots organisations should be recognised as a fundamental part of an integrated perinatal mental health pathway 🙌 The Hearts & Minds Partnership Maternal Mental Health Alliance Bluebell Care Acacia Smile Group

Our survey for new mums is now live! Open to UK-based first-time mums with babies 6-10 weeks old, to explore experiences around mental health and social support. Via: tinyurl.com/newmumstudy #mentalhealth #motherhood #mothers #newborn

Let’s hope our government and future governments make this commitment a reality. The report is very welcome 🙏

We’re super excited about returning to some #facetoface courses after Easter! Motherwise and #babymassage will bring new mums together for much needed #peersupport and friendship ❤️💕 #tacklingisolation #maternalmentalhealth

If you work with babies or toddlers or their parents please spread the word about the #WhatAboutUs campaign. We are asking parents to share their baby's missed moments with @rishisunak and ask why under 2's are not included in the COVID catch-up funding 1001days.org.uk/WhatAboutUs

Amazing 🙌 #CoC #midwives #bestforfamilies

If we all understood how an infants brain worked, babies lives would be off to a good start. We need to continue to educate and inspire change #infantmentalhealth #earlyyears

Date for your diary! Infant Mental Health Awareness week will run from 7th – 13th June 2021. Watch this space for more details about events and activities which will be running over the week #IMHAW21 #IncludingInfants parentinfantfoundation.org.uk/our-work/imhaw/

Brain development depends on many factors. Perhaps the most important is sensory experiences with other people and the world around them. Babies learn about the world through the loving support of their parents.

Really looking forward to this! #cpd #parentinfantrelationships
