Announcement Of Our New Patron

[20th November 2024]

We are very excited to announce Dr. Gertrude (Trudi) Seneviratne OBE, MBBS, FRCPsych as our new Patron.

Dr. Seneviratne, a renowned psychiatrist and leading expert in perinatal mental health, brings a wealth of knowledge, insight and compassion, to MumsAid. With decades of experience supporting mothers and families through the unique challenges of pregnancy and early motherhood, she has witnessed the transformative impact of timely, specialised mental health care.

Taking on the role as MumsAid’s Patron comes at a critical moment, when the need for accessible mental health support has never been greater. Behind every new mother is a unique story, often filled with joy, yet sometimes burdened by overwhelming stress, anxiety, or isolation. “MumsAid is more than just a service—it’s a lifeline,” says Dr. Seneviratne. “By providing safe, confidential support, MumsAid ensures that no mother feels alone in her journey.”

Dr. Seneviratne’s appointment represents a powerful step forward in raising awareness and expanding our reach, so we can continue to serve mothers who need us most and we are honoured and delighted to welcome her. Together, we look forward to empowering more women, strengthening families, and building a future where perinatal mental health is recognised as a priority for all.
