Mother and baby unit needed in Wales

The Issue

So many mothers in Wales are struggling with their mental health some of them need inpatient treatment but too scared to get it. why are they scared? they fear they will be separated from their baby, im sure there are other reasons of course but this is a main one,  the ones that do get treatment with their child have to travel to England isolated from their family and what do mothers with mental health need? Treatment and support! Support from friends and family if we really want to change their outcome this is so vitally needed I want to petition the government to put a mother and baby unit in Wales after the only one we had close in 2013! Women didn’t stop needed them in 2013 and they continue to need them in 2020 Please sign and share thank you x
