Our Services
Award winning
Sarah and Maria were so proud to accept the Maternal Mental Health Alliance Perinatal Peer Support award on behalf of Mothers for Mothers. This honours the trail blazing women of lived experience who had a vision to start a women led peer support group back in 1981. The hard work of our staff and volunteer team is possible due to the support of our trustees and funders.
There are many fantastic perinatal peer support organisations across the UK and we are able to share learning and experiences to improve our services for the benefit of families, we all thank the Maternal Mental Health Alliance for making this possible.

The theme of Infant Mental Health Awareness week is ‘The world through babies’ eyes’. Please help us throughout the next week to include the stories of babies and toddlers from BAME communities who disproportionately lack resources that help children and their families thrive.
