We honestly hope that we make each and everyone of you feel welcome. Anxiety and mental health in general really makes it hard for most of us to leave the house!

If we can ever do anything to make it easier to attend a session please just let us know and we will try to do everything we can to make you feel comfortable 🩷

We know how daunting baby groups and play dates can be, especially if you’re suffering with perinatal mental illness. Our in-person support groups offer a safe space to share, listen, and feel understood.

Led by a trained group facilitator with lived experience, our support groups offer a calm community for parents who are struggling. They provide a safe space for you and your baby, where you can meet other parents, chat, listen and share your experiences.

Because no parent should face perinatal mental illness alone.

Laura Kyrke-Smith emailed me yesterday to inform me that this is happening today 🥰 Let's hope all our input can make a difference ♥️

📣 Today at around 2pm, I’ll be standing up in Parliament to introduce my Perinatal Mental Health Assessments Bill — otherwise known as Sophie’s Law, in memory of my brilliant friend, Sophie Middlemiss.

This Bill is about making sure every pregnant woman and new mum is offered proper mental health assessments and support — because no one should have to struggle in silence. Too many women are still being missed when they need help the most, and it’s time that changed.

I’ve written more about why this issue means so much to me, and why every mum deserves better, in my guest post for mumsnet.com:

You can also watch me introduce Sophie’s Law live in the House of Commons here at around 2pm:

Let’s make sure every pregnant and new mum, everywhere, gets the mental health support she deserves. 💜

Hi all. Just to confirm, the session tomorrow is NOT running. I am in Devon and Alicia has a very poorly relative.
I will let you know if we can get the space for next week instead.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi everyone, Our group should be this coming Monday, however I am away in Devon (my kids have 2 weeks for half term!!!) And Alicia has a very unwell family member. So if we postponed it to Monday 27th October, would that work for people? Comments below please ⬇️
