Mothers in Mind is a supportive programme, in partnership with DorPip, tailored to women who are experiencing mental health challenges related to early motherhood.
The eight-week course has been designed by women who have personally experienced perinatal mental health issues, ensuring it is both relatable and practical for mums navigating this challenging time.
