💚 YOUR VOICE MATTERS — HELP MAKE PERINATAL CARE SAFER
At Canterbury Road Laundrette, we believe that caring for our community goes beyond laundry. It means looking out for one another, listening without judgement, and helping people find support when they need it.
Today, we want to share an important message.
About a national safety investigation into preventing perinatal mental health deaths, focusing on recognition, access to support and the experiences of those affected.
Pregnancy and becoming a parent can bring moments of great joy, but they can also bring emotional challenges that are not always visible to others.
Behind a smile, a busy day or the everyday routine of caring for a new baby, someone may be struggling in ways we cannot see.
💚 Why does this investigation matter?
Because recognising when a woman is struggling, listening to her concerns and helping her access the right support can make a difference.
Patients, families, carers, and health and care professionals with relevant experiences or insights are invited to share them as part of this investigation.
Perhaps you have experienced difficulties accessing perinatal mental health support. Perhaps you have supported a loved one through a difficult time, or you have professional experience that could help identify where care needs to improve.
Your experience may help inform learning and make care safer for other families.
You do not need to share your personal story in the comments. If you would like to contribute, please read the investigation details and contact: [email protected]
At Canterbury Road Laundrette, through our connection with Release for Women, we believe in the importance of listening, connecting people with support, and creating a community where women do not feel they have to struggle alone.
Sometimes, making a difference starts with listening. Sometimes, it starts with speaking up.
And sometimes, it starts with sharing an experience that could help someone else.
💚 Laundry with Heart — because every person, every story and every voice matters.
Please share this post so that those with relevant experiences have the opportunity to be heard.
