With support from the Henry Smith Charity we were able to launch our maternal mental health work which includes both home visiting and group support. Recognising the overwhelming need for mums and mums-to-be to have the right support in place for their peri and post-natal journey.
Volunteers are available to support mums especially when the circumstances are complicated by factors such as domestic violence, substance misuse, miscarriage, stillbirth and distressing news at screening.
In addition mums can go on to suffer from the impact of post-natal depression which can have a detrimental impact on the health and wellbeing of the whole family. A Child’s health shouldn’t be blighted before it’s even started.
