I’ve written a report on the importance of health visiting and why we need to urgently fund the service to support parents like myself. You can take a read by clicking the report link within my Linktree profile: linktr.ee/leanne_howlett

Not had a full read yet, but looks like an insightful and much needed piece of work. Health Visitors are heroes and we need more of them!

I don’t know what they’re discussing, but I do know it’s serious.

I mean get a load of that little face!

Labour MP to push for better maternal mental health care after friend’s suicide Laura Kyrke-Smith says perinatal mental health care in England is ‘postcode lottery’, with disadvantaged women more likely to miss out

I’m glad that @laurakyrkesmith.bsky.social is pushing for better maternal health care. Too often, mothers’ needs get neglected, especially if it’s not a first birth, as in the case of her friend. At #MothersUncovered, we help mothers at ALL stages. #matrescence www.theguardian.com/society/2025...
