In a Mother’s Mind: Lack of Support
In a Mother’s Mind: the mental health needs and experiences of women who have had children removed from their care Welcome back to this very special season of Pause and Listen! This season is called ‘In a Mother’s Mind’. It aims to raise awareness about the mental health experiences and needs of women who have had children removed from their care. It was created by a group of five Pause graduates who have experience of having children removed from their care. In this episode, we discuss the lack of specialised support available for women who have had children removed from their care. We are joined by Pause Trustee, Vicki Nash, who works for the mental health charity Mind, and Clinical Psychologist Nicola Labuschagne. *please note that since this episode was recorded, the government committed to increasing benefits in line with inflation in the Autumn statement.
