Kathleen, our founding director, attended the Power of Us Conference 2026; a day focused on trust, understanding, and the power of coming together.

It was a great opportunity to listen to community researchers, take part in workshops and discussions, and hear different perspectives from across local and national work.

We’re leaving with a deeper appreciation of how learning from each other and working together can strengthen the way we support families and communities.

This Black Maternal Health UK Awareness Week, we’re choosing to lead with solutions.

We acknowledge the experiences that many Black women face, while also focusing on what needs to change, better listening, respectful care, and stronger support systems.

At Approachable Parenting, we’re here to nurture confidence, connection, and community from pregnancy and beyond.

Because every mother deserves to feel safe, heard, and supported.

Save this as a reminder for the support you deserve.

Motherhood is beautiful… but it can also feel heavy sometimes.

The mental load, the constant thinking, the pressure to get it “right” can quietly build into stress without us even realising.

This Stress Awareness Month, we’re shining a light on maternal stress. Because noticing it is the first step to managing it.

You don’t have to carry everything at once. Small pauses, honest conversations and asking for support all matter.

Swipe through to explore, reflect and remind yourself that your wellbeing matters too!
