‘Listening to Elaine Hanzak was motivational, inspirational and proved to me what I have suspected since having PND myself – that someone ‘normal’ can make a massive difference and change things for the better for women in this situation’

Delegate at stakeholder event in Doncaster.

‘I found Elaine’s talk very informative and a good source for finding out about examples of good practices in the development of maternal mental health services. For us, commissioners and health professionals, service user should be in the center of every service we develop and deliver. Elaine can be seen as a partner as she possesses wealth of information gained not only through her personal experience, but also through her activities at national and international arenas, - we have to appreciate it.’
