Since its inception, MumsAid has delivered a growing programme of support during the perinatal period (pregnancy, birth and the early infant years), which has included counselling and psychotherapy, therapeutic groups, befriending support by trained peer volunteers, training for frontline staff in postnatal depression awareness, clinical supervision, and an active social media presence aimed at providing support to mothers and raising awareness.
Our therapy is open to women of all backgrounds, but we have a particular focus on marginalised groups within our local community, including mothers from BME communities, those on low incomes and single mothers. We also run YoungMumsAid, a bespoke therapy programme for teenage and young mothers with complex needs. We work primarily in Greenwich but have plans to expand our reach to new audiences and areas.
