A colleague is doing some research into good practice guides for birth debriefs. There are no NICE guidelines on this, yet it is common practice. If you know abit about how you think a good service could look like, and you'd like to contribute some of your thoughts (in the form of a one hour interview) let me know and I'll send you details

For those of you that have stories to tell.

Theo Clarke describes her daughter's birth as the "most distressing experience" of her life.

I was quoted 7 years ago! Still relevant today. The book is still selling "Why postnatal depression matters". And so is the online video course for birth professionals. Link in bio. Thank you for the mention Tracey Donegan.

Parenting can be tough, and sometimes we all need a little bit of support 💌

Here at PANDAS we want you to know that our helpline is available FOR YOU. On those days you feel like you're not coping and everything is a massive struggle, we are there.

Don't underestimate the power of talking things through, being heard and understood and having someone there to listen. Often it's easier to talk to a stranger, and our trained volunteers are there to offer support and advice 📞

We exist for all parents and carers, and if you are worried about someone in that position we can offer help and support too.

The phone line is open between 11am - 10pm. Please don’t hesitate to call

☎️ 0808 1961 776 ☎️

Lots of love ❤️

This course was designed for volunteers - support people who don't want to spend 6 hours on cpd but who DO want guidance on how to listen safely to traumatic stories. It covers the basics in one hour. If you listen to people while they are pregnant or after birth or during breastfeeding, this might help. Learn what trauma is, how people recover, how to listen effectively, how to spot when to refer on, how to protect your emotional state. Like all the courses that I've designed, the aim is to change how you feel, not just what you know.

Which photo should I use on my website/as a profile pic on "find a therapist" pages? I'm especially interested in the votes from people who have never met me.
