We’d like the Perinatal Positivity film to be watched by all new parents-to-be so please do share it as much as you can. It’s free to watch, share or embed. You can include it on your website, share it on social media, in newsletters and emails, show it at antenatal groups, and use it in staff training. We only ask that you don’t charge for showing or sharing the film.

You can also print out the Perinatal Positivity poster and postcard to hand out and display where you work. The back page of the postcard has a blank area where you can add local information and contacts (we have written instructions on how to edit and print the postcard.
