World Maternal Mental Health The Hive

We are absolutely DELIGHTED to be able to reveal our FREE event Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week, taking place at The Hive in Birkenhead Thursday 5th May | 11am-3pm , with the theme 'The Power of Connection'.

What is it? Stalls and presentations/free classes dedicated to talking about mental health while pregnant or after having a baby.

Who is it organised by? Wirral Maternity Voices is a small group of individuals and midwives from Wirral University Teaching Hospital (Arrowe Park) who have come together to improve Maternity services in Wirral. As restrictions have eased, we are inviting you to come and see what is available locally to support you on your journey from pregnancy and beyond.

What is this year’s theme? We are delighted to announce the theme for this year’s Awareness Week is ' The Power of Connection '. It is about connecting communities, virtual and real life support, focusing on connection in a more equitable sense for diversity & equality.

We are dedicated to signposting to support for all families and focus on advocating for those affected by Maternal Mental Health, to access the information and help they require to enable recovery.

The event will provide a supportive place where we can reassure families and signpost you to vital resources and safe support which is what people need most at this time.

Our energies will focus on ensuring parents feel well informed & supported at this time when anxieties are still heightened for so many, and all the resources created and provided during the week will be available afterwards for people to pick up when they need it.

We are pleased to announce we have the following in attendance:

Perinatal Mental Health Team, Mental Health Midwives, Elsie's Moon, Wirral Mind, Talking Together Wirral (IAPT), The Martin Gallier Project, Involve Northwest, Koala North West, Terri Irvin|TIME, The Relaxed Mama Club, Cub and Calf, Blossom and Bloom Well-Being, Carrying Connects and Moonbeam Yoga.
