Lara Hyams shared her story as part of COPE’s national The Truth campaign. Her openness and candour, particularly around her experience of intrusive thoughts during the postnatal period resonated with many – and has helped bust stigma around what is often a taboo and frightening aspect of new parenthood. Lara shares her experiences, and handles the stories of others, with care, grace, and humour. We are so grateful for the passion Lara shows in raising awareness of the struggles faced by new and expectant parents in her role as COPE Ambassador.
