During #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek let us remember we are the first generation to be given the opportunity by science to prevent mental health problems by supporting parents during pregnancy and postnatally and nurturing their efforts on our behalf to care for the next generation

On day two of #mentalhealthawarenessweek remember we are social animals from conception. Survival, health & happiness relies on the relationships we have with others. The worst traumas are relationship traumas, the greatest joys, relationship joys. Be kind to ourselves and others

Day3 #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek The top predictor of lifelong mental & physical health is exposure to adverse childhood experiences #ACEs The earlier, including pregnancy, the greater the effects. Maternal mental wellbeing protects so let’s nurture parents of very young children

Day4 #MHAW23 Foetuses & babies sense traumatic environments too - via severe maternal anxiety/depression. Which mothers get this most? Those who experienced trauma, ++in childhood. How can we nurture foetuses & babies? By nurturing parents during The Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood #BabyBlindspot

Day5 #MHAW23 10%+ of us & 50%+ of people in contact with mental health services suffer from #CPTSD, usually the result of childhood traumas. Mostly unrecognised, or labelled as ā€˜personality disorder’, anxious, self-harming, substance misuse,ā€˜medically unexplained symptoms’..WHY?

Watch nothing else this weekend of #MHAW2023 until you have watched Ellie’s story. In 3 mins it explains mental injury and the healing power of skilled, sensitive, supportive, humane professionals. The great FNP: ultimate practitioners of #traumainformed care

Day6 #MHAW23 #traumainformed care is NHS #LongTermPlan policy. Essential to begin to meet needs of the most disadvantaged yet neglected. We can all start by recognising the scale, effects & features of mental injury. See bit.ly/43dCvHF & UKTraumaCouncil.org

If we care about #mentalhealth, we must care about it in 83% of the world’s population: low and middle income countries. And it’s not racist or colonialist for the 17% to act thoughtfully. Read this right through..

Ended a day of fabulous talks at National #PerinatalMH Course with Pete Lawrence on perinatal intrusive/obsessional thoughts: the risks & potential harm are from professional overreaction, not that they could come true. The distress is enormous Maternal OCD

Babies are born communicators! But we adults can’t always respond and miss out on the joy of the relationship and the long term benefits for us all - but there’s all kinds of kind help out there. Happy #BabyCommunicationWeek23
