A perinatal mental health service developed by local Minds in collaboration with mums.

Mums Matter is an early intervention perinatal mental health service. It aims to improve the mental health and wellbeing of new mothers by empowering them with knowledge and understanding of perinatal mental health and by expanding their social networks.

Mums Matter was designed and developed by local Minds with mums who have lived experience of perinatal mental health issues. Trained mental health practitioners from local Minds deliver Mums Matter in community settings and remotely via video conferencing platforms (like Teams or Zoom).

The service involves one introduction session to discuss support and if the service is appropriate. If suitable, this session is followed by 6 group sessions with trained local Mind practitioners using evidence-based tools and resources to support mums to manage the everyday, nurture themselves and dispel the many myths of motherhood. After these guided sessions, mums are encouraged to form a peer support network to strengthen their social networks and continue to support each other.

There is no way to be a perfect mother, but a million ways to be a good one.

Thank you for sitting and listening to me.
