Back to Sheffield thanks to SMA

Today I drove back to Sheffield for an event organised by the very efficient Stoneapple Productions http://www.stoneapple.co.uk/
for SMA
http://www.smahcp.co.uk/professionalsupport/studydays/

I addressed midwives and health visitors from the Sheffield areas about my story, why perinatal mental health is important and hints and tips on how to help others.

Speaking about my family had mixed feelings today - yesterday was my 'baby' sister's birthday - she was 36!!! - and had my beloved Grandma been alive today she would have been 99!

The venue was good at the Sheffield Park Hotel.http://www.pedersengroup.co.uk/index.asp?HotelId=5&PageNameId=1
