Support Mums Dorset

About the programme
Mothers in Mind was designed by women with lived experience of perinatal mental health and early motherhood challenges. It equips mums with:

  • Practical tools and strategies to support their mental wellbeing
  • Relaxation techniques and CBT-based approaches to manage difficult thoughts
  • A safe, supportive space to connect with others and reduce isolation

To ensure accessibility, a free crèche facility is available for mums who require childcare support.

The group is most suitable for mums who are:

  • Experiencing mild to moderate mental health difficulties in relation to pregnancy and motherhood
  • Experiencing social isolation or social anxiety and would benefit from a support network of other Mums
  • Managing other common mental health problems, if they are currently receiving or have accessed psychological support within the last 18 months
  • Motivated to access support in a group environment and willing to engage with peers
