Perinatal Community Mental Health Service for LLR

30/09/2025

As a team, Leicestershire Partnership Trust Perinatal Mental Health Team are raising money for the charity Action on Postpartum Psychosis.

Each member will be walking 40miles over October, this number represents the distance from our base in central Leicester to our nearest MBU (The Beeches, Derby) where our mums and babies stay for treatment. This is the journey our service users and their families travel for additional support.

Any shares of this post or donations will be greatly appreciated by the team and APP, thank you.

EDIT - NOW FULLY BOOKED

Perfectionism can leave parents feeling overwhelmed, inadequate, and constantly dissatisfied with their efforts. In this first free workshop, we’ll explore how perfectionism manifests in parenting and its emotional impact.

Through discussion and reflection, you’ll learn to identify perfectionistic thoughts and behaviours, and begin to understand how they may be affecting your well-being and your relationship with your children. By the end of the session, you’ll have practical strategies to challenge unrealistic standards and reduce the pressure you place on yourself.

Join us to start breaking free from perfectionism and embrace a more balanced, compassionate approach to parenting.
