Shropshire Maternity Mental Health provision one of the worst in the country

The Maternal Mental Health Alliance has published data that shows that the level of specialist support given to Shropshire women and their families is “extremely basic” and “falls short of national standards”.

Share your experiences

We want to hear how families have managed their mental health problems with the current provision and what improvements would have made all the difference to them. We chair the local Maternity Voices partnership and will share people’s experiences directly with local Maternity Leaders as well as nationally with Healthwatch England.

This is a real opportunity for us to gather people’s experiences and use them to look at developing a service which truly meets the needs of our families. By lending your story to this work we can help organisations providing care to learn as well as design services which will benefit everyone
