The project prioritises 1) making sure basic needs are met like food and 2) fostering trust and belonging, and on top of this foundation they put on creative and joyful events, art projects, music etc with professional creatives working with the mums and kids

Both in the #whmhealth2021 session and in today's session, peer support keeps coming up for its ability to provide women with someone supportive who had been where they were *and* tools to advocate for themselves

. @EmmaArran2 has been talking about maternal health inequalities, her own research in the UK, USA and Australia (and how she prioritised producing a film to make her findings widely accessible) and the significance of peer support for pregnant women experiencing homelessness

What can we do to change? @PeerSolace: the first thing is recognition - really recognise the harsh realities that some women are living and recognise their trauma #whmmotherhood2021
