"My experience with WANDAS & Supporting Services"

About: King Edward Memorial Hospital / Women and Newborn Drug and Alcohol Service (WANDAS)

(as a service user),

When I first found out I was pregnant I was in denial, I was worried and I really had no idea how I was going to make it through. I was dealing with grief, drug use, abusive relationships and no where stable to live. All of my circumstances were not ideal to bring a child into. The thought of an abortion was so foreign to me, so I knew I had to find a way to make it work.

My experience with WANDAS has been nothing but amazing and a true blessing to have their support. The team were dedicated to helping baby and I, supporting us through every challenge I saw. Selfless, kind, caring, supportive, understanding, diverse, professional. I have a spot in my heart for my lovely ladies and team, I love my WANDAS team and I'll be 100% coming back if I were to have another baby in the future.
