Mums Matter, Barking & Dagenham

Motherhood can be a tough time. You may be feeling overwhelmed, more tearful than usual or anxious. Our Mums Matter Project in Barking and Dagenham is a support service to empower mums to take control of their health and wellbeing. It is an early intervention service that women can self-refer in to or be referred by other professionals. Practical and emotional support is given to mums using a holistic approach, and the course was originally designed by mums for mums experiencing perinatal mental health challenges. We are pleased to be able to support our mums with creche facilities to ensure they are able to participate fully in the group sessions. We also invite dads/supporters of each mum to have a 1:1 session with our practitioners towards the end of each course.
