Leading a team is much like conducting an orchestra. Its about building team cohesion based on a collective vision & shared goals & ensuring each person is valued for the unique contribution they make. We seek a synchronised effort that leaves a lasting impact: marian-temmen.medium.com/lea… By @MarianTemmen Graphic: @tnvora

Petition: To get a specialist mental health mother and baby unit in North Wales.

Petition: To get a specialist mental health mother and baby unit in North Wales.

A mother and baby unit is needed in North Wales so that families don't have to travel to England and for this service to be available in the Welsh language. This is a essential mental health service...
