Earlier this year we filmed this to highlight the very real impact of #pregnancy #babyloss on siblings as part of our perinatal baby loss work. Thank you to @WS_Foundation_ @ThroughFilm_org for making this happen, and to the parents who trusted us with their experiences ♥️

We’ve seen a significant increase in #intrusivethoughts in #NICU families lately. After a wonderful catch up with @Neonatalpsych, I picked up a copy of this book to help shape the work we’re doing with families in the #perinatalperiod . Thank you for the recommendation Rebecca! – at Yorkshire and The Humber, England

We are seeking feedback from anyone who has worked with our team to highlight / feedback what would happen if our doors closed at the end of this year to help secure further funds.

When #neonatal parents tell us that they need some ‘me’ time when in the #NICU.What do we do?!We head out for coffee, cake and a create a safe space to talk about anything they need within the hospital grounds. Being able to offer a healing space close to the unit is so important

We’ve recently introduced the @BrazeltonUK NBAS into our care. Two of our team, Lottie & Katie are training to be NBAS practitioners. The focus will be on showing families what their baby can do, preventing perinatal illness and aiding early intervention – at Yorkshire and The Humber, England

What does trauma informed perinatal care look like at Leo’s? Understanding that any previous loss, losses, neonatal care, or wider experiences families have endured, will have a profound effect on how they navigate the #NICU, a current loss, or a new pregnancy. – at Yorkshire and The Humber, England

A rug filled with love and a ball of air drying clay for regulation was how we kick started our day today! Offering parents not only a space space to talk on the recent discharge from #NICU but also a way to regulate themselves if needed at this morning’s group. #trauma
