Talking to someone about your emotional wellbeing can help make sure you get the help and support you need

perinatal mental health support

We offer maternal mental health and 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 Queen’s 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.

In last nights episode of @imacelebrity the campmates talked openly about their experiences of becoming new parents and the challenges that they faced including postnatal depression.

It is so important that these conversations are had in order to reduce the stigma and isolation.

If you, or someone you know, is struggling or needs support please help them find the support that is right for them. 

Our helpline is open Mon-Friday, 10am-9pm (0117 935 9366) for those local to us.
