Possible W I campaign for maternal mental health services

Women's Institute members are, this month, voting to choose one from a selection of 6 resolutions to go forward for the W I as a whole to campaign for nationally. One of the resolutions is 'Equal Access for all who need Specialist Maternal Mental Health Services'. If you know, or are, a W I member, maybe you could encourage members to vote for this. I found it difficult but with my family's blessing, I spoke about my daughter's experience and of services locally and across the country. We were directed to a website, everyonesbusiness.org.uk which shows a map of provision across the country . W I has in the recent past campaigned for more midwives and 'Care not Custody' for people with mental health needs in police custody, a campaign that Theresa May spoke in support of as Home Secretary, so there is interest among members already. Best wishes to all of you.
