💙 PPIE Perinatal Group – Final Session

Recently, at Ethnic Health Forum office, we held the final session of our PPIE Perinatal Group meeting, filled with energy and positivity as we continue working alongside our communities to support perinatal mental wellbeing.

We were delighted to host the final meeting of this phase of our research collaboration with the University of Liverpool. This inspiring group of women has been working closely with Dr Ahmed Waqas and the research team to co-design a digital app aimed at supporting women experiencing depression after childbirth, ensuring that lived experiences remain at the heart of innovation and research.

A heartfelt thank you to all the participants for their openness, valuable insights, and dedication to improving maternal mental health. Together, we are shaping research that truly reflects the needs of mothers and families.

We also thank the Ethnic Health Forum team for facilitating and co-organising this research activity and for their continuous support throughout the project.

Stay connected, stay updated.

🌟 Mentorship in Action!

EHF staff, volunteers, and community members were proud to attend the 'Group Mentoring Event' for Aspiring Clinical Psychologists in Manchester.

The sessions provided practical guidance on CV writing, interviews, wellbeing, and applying for clinical and PhD programmes — giving aspiring professionals the tools and confidence to take the next step.

At Ethnic Health Forum, we believe mentorship creates opportunity. When our community members have access to guidance, networks, and support, we build a stronger and more inclusive future together 💚.
