Fund improved mental health support for women who suffer a miscarriage

Closed 103 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the Government to fund improved mental health support for women who suffer a miscarriage. This should ensure that this group receives the support they need to deal with PTSD, postnatal depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, and more.
I believe I and so many other women have received is unacceptable. There is no counselling service to help us and tailor it to our needs. Bereavement counselling is not enough, we need to retrain our brains into believing we are not failures, how to live with this, coping mechanisms, anger management, PTSD, postnatal depression etc. Improved mental health support is required and I cannot believe this does not already exist.
