Stigma and (double) disenfranchisement affects men too. Men's grief after perinatal loss is often delayed, this has implications for when and for how long we need to offer mental health support to men. Thank you @KateObst @mypsanz @GradSchoolUofA @sahmriAU #BetterTogether

From June, a new Child Funeral Fund will help families in #NorthernIreland pay the cost of a funeral following the death of a child, including #stillbirth after 24 weeks and up to age 18.
The one-off payments will be non-means tested.

People in Canada wait 5-11 years for an #endometriosis diagnosis and up to 2 more years for specialised care. We are calling on Members of Parliament
to #ActOnEndo by championing an action plan that provides funding to improve endometriosis care in Canada. #cdnppoli

Excited to share this 2nd paper led by Shaz Azeez on men's experiences after neonatal death. Grief described as complicated & multidimensional, compounded by feelings of injustice. Father-specific info & support is so imp 💚 @DrClemmiDue

Antivaxxers are planning to protest at hospitals in 10 provinces again on Monday.
Antivaxxers should NOT be allowed to protest outside hospitals, harass health workers & shame patients trying to access care.
RT if you agree
