Pause and Listen
Pause and Listen aims to provide a platform for women who no longer have children in their care, to share their stories and experiences. In each episode, we talk about an issue that affects their lives. We will be joined by women with lived experience, professionals and sector experts to discuss the issues they face, reflect on their experience, and think about how we can work together to make things better.
*Trigger warning* podcast episodes discuss issues which may cause distress to some, including domestic abuse and mental health issues.
Pause is a national charity working with women who've had - or are at risk of having - their children removed from their care.

In a Mother's Mind: Messages of Support
Welcome back to this very special season of Pause and Listen! This is the final episode in our season ‘In a Mother’s Mind’, which aims to raise awareness about the mental health experiences and needs of women who have had children removed from their care. It was created by a group of five Pause graduates who have experience of having children removed from their care.
In this episode, we share some messages of support for other women who have had children removed from their care. We will also hear some music written and performed by Vanessa.
Hosted by Helena, a woman with experience of the Pause Programme
