Mums Matter is a new service delivered by Mind in Tower Hamlets and Newham to provide early intervention care for new mums suffering mild to moderate mental health challenges.

Mums Matter is an early intervention service that women can self-refer into or be referenced by other professionals. It is an eight-week course that has been designed for mums who are experiencing mental health challenges in the perinatal period.

Mums will be supported by a local mind facilitator to develop:

• Methods to help them to manage their everyday mental health
  
• The awareness and understanding it is ok not to be ok and are able to dispel the myths they are told about motherhood
  
• Tools and strategies to nurture themselves
  
• Peer support through the service which continues when the structured sessions end.

Available to any mum who has become unwell with a mental health problem during the post-natal period, over the age of 18.
