Tomorrow Mothers for Mothers will be launching our This Is Our Truth: A Grassroots Call to Reimagine Perinatal Mental Health Care report at the House of Commons.

As some of our authors and contributors have suggested it is not always an easy read. It is, however, the truth of thousands of women and birthing people who have bravely shared their stories. We are so grateful to them all.

Come back tomorrow when you will be able to download a copy yourself via our website or our Linktree account.

Some of our Mothers for Mothers community are celebrating the Lunar New Year this week so we wish them a year filled with prosperity and good fortune.

2026 is the Year of the Fire Horse and is a particular significant year for many people. The Year of the Snake was all about "shedding" past negativity whereas the Year of the Horse symbolises moving forward and starting afresh with courage and confidence. The fire element brings intensity and passion and heightens the horse's natural strength and powers.

Just like with horses, it's important to consider resting and regulating when moving forward in your life while navigating various obstacles that come your way.

Pancake Day (Shrove Tuesday) is a perfect time to build on your child's language development. You can introduce them to new words such as "pour" and "flip" but also 1 step instructions such as "stir the bowl". As they eat the pancakes, you could introduce them to describing words such as "sweet sugar", "hot pancake" or "delicious pancakes"

Have fun!

Our SEND Peer Support worker recently attended training delivered by Autism Independence, on Cultural Intelligence and Autism.

Being culturally intelligent is about understanding, respecting and adapting to different cultural contexts and situations.

In healthcare, becoming culturally intelligent can lead to better health outcomes. In businesses, developing cultural intelligence can allow for better productivity and efficiency.

Cultural norms and differences can impact the way an Autistic person is viewed. In some cultures, an Autistic person's behaviour may be seen as disrespectful instead of being seen as their trait. If we better understand the different cultures and adapt accordingly, we can form more positive interactions to create an inclusive climate.

Calling all SEND families!!

Have you noticed that anyone working in the world of SEND loves an acronym and/or loves reeling out SEND specific jargon as if they are song words to a Taylor Swift song?

YES?

Well, don't worry...

Our SEND Peer Support worker is here to go through the commonly used SEND terms. Each week, she will upload an information sheet on a particular SEND specific term or acronym which you can refer to.

This week, it is OT which stands for Occupational Therapy which is a service you can refer into and access with or without a diagnosis. Occupational Therapists help provide ideas, strategies and practical support to children, their families, carers and schools. The aim is to help children and young people with physical difficulties reach their full potential.
