I was honoured to be asked to feature in this powerful video for the 2016 Glaxosmithkline Ireland Impact award winning charity NURTURE, which offers a nationwide no wait list counselling service to women during conception, pregnancy and childbirth.
"About 10% of women suffer from Postnatal Depression. There is a stigma around mental health generally, but in terms of maternal mental health I think it's difficult for mothers to reach out and to say they need help ~ With Nurture what I admire about them is this no wait list policy so it means that within a week or two, the woman will get seen ~ It's all about nurturing the mother to nurture herself but also to nurture her relationship with her baby".
