"Anxiety over babys development"

About: Community Services (AMH) / Doncaster perinatal mental health

(as a service user),

I just wanted to share how incredibly grateful I am for the support I received from the perinatal mental health team. From start to finish, my experience has been amazing.

The two phone calls I received prior to my home visit made a huge difference — they provided a real sense of support and reassurance, which helped ease a lot of my initial anxieties. By the time my home assessment took place, I already felt much more stable and supported, to the point where I no longer felt I needed ongoing services. That in itself is a testament to how well my case was managed.

The home visit itself was a very positive experience. Portia, the nurse who came to see me, was incredibly professional, caring, and compassionate. She took her time to explain the service clearly and made me feel truly heard and at ease. Her approach helped me feel comfortable enough to express my thoughts and feelings openly.

Although I may not need continued support at this time, I now feel much more confident knowing how to access help in the future if I need it. I can’t thank the team enough for being there when I needed it most.

Thank you again for everything you do.
