Parents' Voices Survey 2021
We Are Pangs are planning our programs and services for the next year and we want to hear from you. It is important to us that parents like you are involved in the development of our services so we can be sure we are meeting your needs.

We want to hear from you about your personal experiences and the barriers that you may have faced while trying to access care and support. We also want to know what you would find helpful to improve your wellbeing.

This survey is for parents who have given birth in Northern Ireland within the last five years and asks about your experiences before, during and after pregnancy. All responses to this survey will be completely confidential and any quotes shared will be anonymised so no-one can identify you.

The information you provide will paint a picture of the care and support given parents, and allow us to identify any gaps in the training and support provided to families going through mental ill health. It will also help We Are Pangs to develop a strategy to better support parents and give a voice to parents through our campaigning activity.

We would appreciate if you could complete this survey which should take no longer than ten minutes. Please skip any questions you don't feel comfortable answering.

At the end of the survey you will be invited to join the We Are Pangs mailing list. This will enter your name into a draw to win a £30 Amazon voucher.

Thank you for your time.
