Talking to someone about your emotional wellbeing can help make sure you get the help and support you need
perinatal mental health supportWe offer maternal mental health and emotional wellbeing support, advice and information to women, birthing people and their families in Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire. As mothers who have lived experience of depression, anxiety and isolation during pregnancy or after the birth of one or more of our babies, we understand how hard early parenthood can feel and how difficult it can be to ask for help.

Mothers for Mothers are delighted to have been awarded the Queenโs Award for Voluntary Service. This prestigious award is the highest recognition possible for VCSE groups in the UK. It recognises the dedication, commitment and passion of all of the women and birthing people with a lived experience of maternal mental illness, who have generously given their time, skills and compassion to support others. We are so proud that our wonderful team have been honoured in this way. It is very emotional to think about all the families that they have supported over 40 years. The women and birthing people who we walk alongside on their journey to recovery are the inspiration for all that we do. This honours their bravery.

The amazing peer support staff at our groups have planned some interactive activities in support of World Book Day.
World Book Day is more than dressing up as a potato, it`s a chance to raise awareness and celebrate the benefits of reading and sharing stories.
Stories in any language, play a massive role in a child`s development.
Inclusive stories show children than they are not on their own and difference is not less.
Storytelling for adults as well as children can bring joy and learning.
Reading for pleasure can take any form. There is no rule about where and how you read. Some people like to read in bed, some like to read in the toilet and some like to read curled up on the sofa.
Thank you to World Book Day (UK & Ireland) for the ยฃ1 tokens which have been distributed amongst our families.

Our peer support groups are a safe place for you to come and talk about how you feel with others who understand. It is also a chance to gain support and make social connections.
