Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week may be coming to an end, but maternal mental health support is needed every single day 🌻💛
Whether you’re pregnant, postpartum, trying to conceive, grieving, adjusting to parenthood, or supporting someone who is - your mental health matters, and you deserve support without judgement.
There are some incredible organisations offering support, information and safe spaces for those struggling with perinatal mental health:
🤍 Maternal Mental Health Alliance — working to ensure everyone affected by perinatal mental health difficulties can access compassionate, high-quality care and support.
🤍 MASIC Foundation — supporting women and birthing people affected by birth injuries, including OASI injuries, through advocacy, peer support and education.
🤍 PANDAS Foundation — offering free support services for parents, families and partners affected by perinatal mental illness, including helplines and peer support.
If you are struggling, please know you are not alone, and reaching out for help is a sign of strength — not weakness.
If you or someone you know needs urgent mental health support:
📞 Call 999 if you or somebody else is in immediate danger.
📞 Contact Samaritans free anytime on 116 123 for confidential emotional support 24/7.
Please continue checking in on mums, parents and families — this conversation matters far beyond one awareness week 🤍
