Former MP Luciana Berger has landed a new role as chair of a leading mental health charity which works to support women and families during pregnancy and the first year of childbirth.
Ms Berger, 39, will take up her voluntary role with the Maternal Mental Health Alliance (MMHA) at the start of next month after the appointment was confirmed by a unanimous vote at a virtual meeting of members on September 3.
She said:"“I am delighted to have been elected to serve as chair of the Maternal Mental Health Alliance. Perinatal mental health is an urgent and pressing issue for the whole of society.
The standard of care women receive depends on their postcode, and this must end. I look forward to working with MMHA’s members to support women and families, improve standards, and press for world-class mental health services for women before and after the birth of their child.”
