Today, I'm heading to the @lb_southwark Maternity Commission report launch. @MotherhoodGroup was commissioned to conduct an engagement report, examining the experiences of over 100 Black +ethnic minority mothers and healthcare practitioners in maternity services. Why are Black mums still facing disproportionate challenges in maternal healthcare? This question continues to drive our work at @MotherhoodGroup . Last week marked our 5th annual Black Maternal Mental Health Week, focused on advancing and transforming care. Don’t let it be just a "tick box" exercise, but a real catalyst for change. It's striking how closely our report findings align with the themes from last week's event, underscoring the urgent need for systemic improvements in maternal care for Black women.
