As Bliss embarks on an ambitious new three-year strategy in 2022, we are so proud to partner with LGBT Mummies to help more LGBT+ parents and parents-to-be to feel informed about neonatal care, and to know there is somewhere to turn for support should they need it.
With over 90,000 babies born premature or sick and admitted to neonatal care every year in the UK, many families are touched by a neonatal experience. However, many LGBTQIA+ parents feel underrepresented in the neonatal support available and need to know that they aren’t alone. Through this partnership, we will share the stories of more LGBT+ families to shine a light on the diversity of the neonatal experience.
LGBT Mummies ‘Educate, Support and Advocate’ LGBT+ women and people globally on the path to motherhood or parenthood. They act as a central source of support and a safe haven, by providing information, guidance and knowledge on the different paths to parenthood through their website, social channels and support groups.
They are passionate about campaigning for LGBT+ family equality and positive policy change. They do this through ongoing recommendations, training and work with the UK Government, the NHS and other organisations, to ensure equity and equality for LGBT+ families across healthcare, law and society.
