A project for Livestock charity. #Peersupport groups for parents/carers of older children. In conjunction with @livestockarts @mothersuncoverd
Brighton
Joined April 2009
For years as director of @MothersUncoverd, I’ve pointed out the correlation between parental mental health & impact on children, but investment is never made. This piece doesn’t state it: it starts with #Mothers, they need postnatal support @wesstreeting

No judgement, no pressure to keep up a front that everything is ok, just a chance to talk about what’s bothering you or share things that are going well. Online to make it easier for busy parents to attend and you can be based anywhere! Sign up admin@livestock.org.uk

Thank you @itvnews for featuring #MothersUncovered founder @mgordonwalker and facilitator Jenny talking about the importance of groups for #mothers in #matrescence. It is vital for the wellbeing of the #mother and the whole family to be supported. And #peersupport is cheaper!

We @MothersUncoverd have long known this is a problem. We’ve seen over 3000 women since we started in 2008 & connected with more online. We’ve noticed a deterioration in mental health & increase in #mothers expressing suicidal thoughts @denis_campbell

‘If I’d known what this stage was like, I don’t think I’d have become a parent.’ Parenting a teenage child can test you to your limits, despite the fact you love them so much it physically hurts sometimes. Today we start our next #TeenYears Zoom. For more: https://t.co/CR2nnliX5t
