Gabriella Wilde Instagram – • @projectmamauk repost **TRIGGER WARNING: Mention of Suicide and Postnatal Depression**⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This week marks World Suicide Prevention Week, an issue that disproportionally affects migrating populations and those in the perinatal period.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Maternal suicide is the leading cause of direct deaths occurring within a year after the end of pregnancy. Studies have shown that Postnatal Depression (PND) may affect up to 42% of migrant women, compared to around 10-15% of women living in their country of origin. Many migrant mamas we support have experienced trauma even before they get pregnant. They also have had to face services where there might be a lack of cultural safety, systemic microagressions, a lack of access to healthcare as well as a lack of social and community support. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Writing this as the founder of Project MAMA, I think it’s fair to say that so many of our volunteers and mamas alike have been directly or indirectly affected by this issue, which can be both our superpower in times of crisis, but also makes mutual support all the more pertinent. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We centre mothers we support as a team and in partnership with NHS Perinatal Mental Health Teams here in Bristol to ensure of all our mamas receive the support they need and we can continue to show active solidarity.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We encourage everyone to start a conversation about perinatal mental health everyday. Reach out to that friend who might have given birth recently, or even one who hasn’t. If you are experiencing low mood around the birth of your baby, reach for support; many more of us understand than don’t. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
