We were so proud to see the Belfast perinatal team shown in their APP t-shirts, raising awareness and fundraising.
The programme includes interviews with people from our Northern Ireland (NI) café group, others with lived experience of severe postnatal mental illness, and perinatal mental health professionals from NI and from Jasmine Lodge MBU in Exeter.
Members of the APP team have said the programme is powerful, emotional and deeply moving. If you choose to watch on BBC iPlayer, please look after yourself and reach out to APP for peer support.
Today’s BBC Spotlight programme ‘Mums in Crisis’ investigates perinatal mental health care in Northern Ireland, showing just how urgently a Mother and Baby Unit (MBU) is needed to save lives and prevent life-long trauma.
There is no MBU in Northern Ireland, and APP is campaigning for this to change
