Year of Care: Push for Postnatal Mental Health Support
Description
Sligo business owner Aolish Gormley champions a year-long postnatal mental health care for new mothers, following her own struggles. Suicide remains the leading cause of death for new mothers, with increasing numbers. Current support varies, with long waiting lists and limited private options. A major gap is the lack of mother and baby psychiatric units. The Year of Care campaign advocates for comprehensive support, including regular GP follow-ups and establishment of these units, ensuring no mother must choose between mental health and baby in 2026.
