(our Grief & Loss support group will continue during this time).

🏡 Location Update
We wanted to share openly with our community that our much-loved space at Isle of Capri will soon be undergoing renovations.

As Motherhood Village continues to grow, we have reached a point where a permanent home is needed, one that allows us to support more mothers, expand our groups, and be there for our community in an even bigger way.

We are currently exploring options and expect a transition into a new space in Term 2.

Once confirmed, we will:
- Contact all booked mothers directly
- Share updates here on socials
- Send email communications to keep everyone informed

💫 About Our Support Groups
Our peer support groups are open to mothers from pregnancy through to five years postpartum navigating:
• Anxiety, overwhelm, or depression
• Isolation or adjustment challenges
• Birth trauma
• Grief and loss
• Neurodiversity and complex experiences
• Acute perinatal mental health experiences (including recovery following psychosis or Mother & Baby Unit admission, such as the Lavender Unit)
• Mothers who are medical and health professionals
• Culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) and multicultural mothers

A gentle, non-judgemental space where you can connect, be heard, and feel supported 🤍

How lucky are we to have such an amazing community 🤍

Our Resident Grandma volunteers are the heart of Motherhood Village. Every week, they show up with love, caring for the little ones so our mums can take a breath, connect, and feel supported during their groups. We honestly don’t know what we’d do without them!

A special shoutout to Kym, who not only gives her time so generously but also brought in extra donations through her work with to share with our mums 💛

Thank you to Kym and the whole Resident Grandma volunteer team…your kindness and care help make our village so special 🤩

Sometimes the most powerful encouragement comes from another mum who has been there. 🤍

Here are a few words shared by mothers who have attended our groups

“Thank you for creating such a safe space.”

“This group has been a lifeline during one of the hardest seasons of my life.”

If you’ve been wondering whether to come along, we hope these words from other mums help you feel a little more comfortable taking that first step. You don’t need to have the right words, and you never have to share more than you feel ready to.

At Motherhood Village, our free mental health peer support groups are open to mothers during pregnancy through to five years post birth.

Our groups include mental health peer support for:

• Perinatal Depression and Anxiety
• Medical & health professional mothers
• Neurodiverse mothers
• CALD mothers
• Grief & loss / bereavement
• Acute perinatal mental health recovery
• Village Art for maternal mental health

All groups are free of charge, small in size, and bookings are essential so we can ensure a safe and supportive space for everyone.

If you’re navigating overwhelm, mental health challenges, isolation, grief, or simply feeling like you’re not thriving... you are not alone.

Together, every mother thrives. 🌼

🤍 Becoming parents changes everything.

The roles, routines and rhythms you once shared as a couple stretch to hold the needs of a new little life.

Relationships change. Time together becomes scarce, intimacy can feel different, and conversations often revolve around nappies, feeds and sleep.

This doesn’t mean your love is gone, or that your relationship is failing. It means you are navigating one of life’s biggest transitions together.

It’s okay to miss the ease of before. Missing what was doesn’t mean you don’t value what you have now. You are simply learning to love, and live, in a new way.

This season is tender, and it takes time. Go gently with yourself, and with each other.

Motherhood Village offers free mental health peer support groups for mothers during pregnancy through to five years post birth. If you are navigating overwhelm, mental health challenges, isolation, grief or simply need a place to feel understood, you are welcome in our village. 💛

Small groups - bookings essential 🫶 Book online or via the link in our Bio.

Thank you

We felt it was important to share our commitment with our community.

As a community-based perinatal mental health peer support charity operating in Queensland, Motherhood Village is committed to:

- Upholding the Queensland Child Safe Standards
- Creating environments that are physically, emotionally and culturally safe
- Protecting infants and children by strengthening maternal wellbeing
- Ensuring all staff, peer leaders, volunteers and Board members act in ways that safeguard children and families

While our service is designed for mothers, we recognise that children are often present at our sessions. Their safety and wellbeing are paramount.

We are building a community where no mother is alone, and children and families thrive because she is supported.

Loneliness is something we don’t talk about enough in motherhood.

When I think back to my own experience of postpartum depression and anxiety, it wasn’t just the sadness or the overwhelm… it was the loneliness that sat underneath it all.

The kind of loneliness where you can be surrounded by your family, holding your newborn, and still feel completely alone.

Alone in your thoughts.
Alone in how low you feel.
Alone in the quiet question of, “Why am I not happy?”

Because everywhere you look, the world tells you that this should be the happiest time of your life.
And when it doesn’t feel that way, it can make the loneliness even heavier.

But here’s what I’ve learned…

One of the most powerful things that begins to lift that loneliness is connection.

Not advice.
Not fixing.
Not being told what you “should” do or feel.

Just connection.

Sitting with someone who understands.
Being seen.
Being heard.
Being able to say the things you’ve been holding in, and realising you are not the only one.

That is the power of our Motherhood Village peer support groups.

We aren’t there to solve or fix.
We are there to sit beside you.
To listen.
To understand.

To help you feel, and know, that you are not alone. 💛
