"This mural is more than art"

Last week we unveiled a powerful mural created by a group of women in recovery from addiction at Caledonian Park.

Over six months, the group came together weekly through Better Lives, our Islington drug and alcohol service, to paint the mural.

Jane Palmer, one of our managers at Better Lives Islington, said: "Even when life got difficult, and it did at times, they continued to show up, support each other and stay committed. That level of consistency and resilience is nothing short of incredible.”

She added: “The mural is more than just art. It’s a message, a story, a celebration of what recovery can look like when women are given space, support and the chance to express themselves.”

👉 Go see it in Caledonian Park (just off Market Road)!

And stay tuned — the journey of the women involved in the mural is also becoming a short film by Sobriety Films , premiering at the Recovery Street Film Festival in Islington this September!

Myth busting Monday!

Our perinatal team are back with their medication myth-busting!

Did you know many women can continue taking their medication, including antidepressants, during pregnancy and breastfeeding?💊🤱

Medication may need to be reviewed and doses tweaked during this period, due to changes in your body. You shouldn't stop taking any medication without speaking to your GP or healthcare professional.

It's essential to have informed conversations with your healthcare team to support your choices.

Our Specialist Perinatal Mental Health Service offer pre-conception counselling, in addition to supporting women and birthing people struggling with their mental health during pregnancy or the post-partum period. If you think you require support, visit our website and self-refer today.

Did you know that mental health challenges during the perinatal period can affect both parents? If your partner is experiencing postpartum depression or anxiety, it can also impact your own emotional wellbeing.

💡 Supporting your partner can make a big difference in their recovery, but it’s just as important to seek support for yourself.

👶 Need help? You can self-refer to Perinatal Mental Health services to get the care you need for yourself and your family. Visit our website and search “perinatal” for more information.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is way more common than you think, and can be difficult to deal with.

About 1 in 7 people deal with IBS, and stress often makes things worse. Many people feel anxious or down because of it.

That’s where talking therapies, like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), can really help — we work on both your mind and your gut, making symptoms easier to handle.

You’re not alone, and there’s support out there! You can self-refer via our website or speak to your GP today to find out more.

Postpartum depression can start any time in the first year after giving birth. It often develops gradually, making it hard to recognise.

Signs to look out for:
💙 Persistent sadness or low mood
💙 Loss of interest in things you once enjoyed
💙 Feeling exhausted or struggling to sleep
💙 Difficulty caring for yourself or your baby
💙 Withdrawing from loved ones
💙 Frightening thoughts, including fears of harming your baby

Remember:
✔️ Depression is an illness, not a weakness.
✔️ It does not mean you're a bad parent, and it is not your fault.
✔️ Help is available

If you or someone you know is struggling, reach out to your GP, health visitor, or midwife.

You can also self-refer to our Perinatal Mental Health service on our website.
