Creating a smoother transition into motherhood for people seeking sanctuary in Manchester Often women seeking sanctuary have a lack of trust in medical professionals and avoid reporting to institutions such as the NHS out of fear of deportation. This can be exacerbated by a deep-rooted fear of racialised stigma and hostile immigration policies, that deter women from sharing personal information with public bodies. Despite maternal and infant mortality rates declining in the UK, sadly studies have found that Black, Asian, and minority ethnic women have significantly higher morbidity and mortality rates and poorer experiences of healthcare (Moller et al, 2019 ). They also face unequal access to maternity services in the UK and have poorer health outcomes compared to white British women (Garcia et al, 2015 ). Through our partnership work, we aim to change this. Working with Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, the Caribbean and African Health Network (CAHN), and Ardwick and Longsight Primary Care Network we explored ways to improve maternity care for women from Eastern African backgrounds living in Longsight. 30 women in the Little Lion network who are largely from Eritrea, Somalia and Ethiopia took part in weekly sessions to dismantle the communication barriers they experience in their journey to motherhood. Many of the women in this network have experienced sexual and gender-based trauma, which can include trafficking and Female Genital Mutilation. Our Maternity Care test and learn site connected women from the Little Lions network with professionals and front-line services from across the health and social care network. In each session, the women were able to raise specific questions about their health and through discussions, they learned new ways to improve their lifestyles. Their children were able to access a playroom and toys while they attended the session. Every session started with a signature Afrocats dance session to get the women relaxed, present and ready to engage.

Each workshop had volunteer interpreters to support the women to engage in myth-busting, facts and perimenopause.

When negative thinking takes over it can impact our mental health, leaving you feeling depressed or anxious. Translate this page Imagine you are lying on a big grassy hill. Feel the grass underneath your feet. How would the sun feel shining on your face? Imagine the feeling of a soft breeze. Listen to the sounds of birds around you. There is nothing else. Just you, the hill, and the open sky. Now, imagine that each thought you notice is a cloud passing overhead. Notice each thought as it comes up and watch it just as you would watch a cloud passing on a sunny day. You are not trying to do anything about it, not worrying about it or trying to change it; just observing it with a smile. You will begin to notice more thoughts arising. Do not do anything about these either. Just watch them come into your sky and then gently float away. Breathing in, breathing out. Thoughts as Clouds Compassionate friend Get into a comfortable position. Close your eyes and put your hands on your heart. Imagine you are in a safe and comfortable place. Now imagine you have a visitor. They are a compassionate friend - full of wisdom, strength and unconditional love. Take a few moments. Imagine your compassionate friend in as much detail as possible. Allow yourself to feel what it is like to be in their presence. Keep that in your mind for a few moments. Take a few more moments to enjoy your friends' presence. Your friend is a part of yourself. All the compassionate feelings you are experiencing flow from your own inner wisdom. “Deep down in the human spirit there is a reservoir of courage. It is always available, always waiting to be discovered” Pema Chodron Multilingual downloads Urdu French Farsi English
