🌟 Happy Retirement, Amanda Taylor! 🌟

Today we celebrate the retirement of our wonderful Service Manager, Amanda Taylor.

Amanda has been a constant source of support, guidance and encouragement to so many of us throughout her career. Her dedication, compassion and unwavering commitment to both staff and the people we serve have left a lasting impact that will be felt for years to come.

Whether offering wise advice, championing service improvements, or simply taking the time to listen, Amanda has made an incredible difference to countless colleagues and service users alike.

While we are sad to see her go, we are so excited for her as she begins this new chapter. Amanda, thank you for everything you have contributed, for the relationships you have built, and for the positive legacy you leave behind.

On behalf of everyone, we wish you a long, happy and well-deserved retirement filled with health, happiness, adventure, relaxation, and of course, plenty of cake! 🍰

💐 Thank you, Amanda, and congratulations on your retirement. You will be greatly missed. 💐

Happy Father’s Day 💙

Today we celebrate dads, partners, and all the men supporting families through pregnancy and early parenthood. Your care, patience, and presence make a real difference — often in ways that aren’t always seen.

But we also recognise that Father’s Day can bring complex or painful feelings. Adjusting to a new baby, supporting a partner, navigating changing roles, or coping with sleep deprivation and uncertainty can feel overwhelming. For some, today may also bring thoughts of loss, difficult relationships, or longing to be a parent.

It’s important to say this — men’s mental health matters, especially during the perinatal period. If you’re finding things tough, struggling to cope, or feeling under pressure, you are not alone and support is available.

Today, we hold space for celebration and for the quieter, more difficult experiences that can come with this journey.

Take care of yourselves and each other 💙

👶💬 We’re delighted to support — an annual awareness campaign led by the Brazelton Centre UK, highlighting how babies communicate from the very beginning through their expressions, movements, behaviours and relationships.
The week encourages parents, carers and practitioners to better recognise and respond to babies’ cues, helping babies feel understood, connected and emotionally safe.

As part of Baby Communication Week, AiMH UK is sharing our resource “25 Things Every Baby Would Want You to Know” — a reflective resource designed to help adults think about the world from a baby’s perspective and the importance of feeling safe, seen, understood and connected within relationships. 💛

The Global Day of Parents honors parents and caregivers worldwide for their selfless commitment and lifelong sacrifices to nurture and protect their children. The day emphasizes that anyone acting as a parental figure or caregiver plays a critical role in a child's emotional, educational, and social development.

Ways you can mark Global Day of Parents;
- Dedicate the day to family activities, such as sharing a special meal or gathering together outdoors.
- Send thank-you messages, cards, or tokens of appreciation to parents and guardians
- Use social media to share stories, photos, and memories of your parents, celebrating their influence in your life and using relevant hashtags to join the global conversation.
