If recent events have impacted your mental wellbeing, you are far from alone in that.

Please reach out. Many of our members are already offering support to people in their networks. Send us a message if you’re not sure where to turn. Take care.

Nobody should live in fear because of their identity.

The word ‘Alliance’ is in our name for a reason; we are built on inclusivity, solidarity, and collective strength. Together, we must combat hatred and strive towards an equitable society where everyone is safe, respected, and cared for.

And we will not stand for it.

We have been particularly horrified by reports of women and birthing people being directly targeted in counter-protests and online, including the racism directed at members of our own community who work tirelessly to create safe spaces for vulnerable families impacted by perinatal mental illness.

As last week’s MBRRACE-UK report highlighted, improving safety means more than preventing physical harm. If we are serious about safer maternity care, mental health must be treated on equal footing with physical safety. Every woman and birthing person deserves compassionate, safe, and holistic care.

Bereaved and harmed families’ voices will be central in shaping recommendations to urgently improve care and safety, and their courage and insight are hugely welcome
