Exploring Wellbeing in Motherhood

Open to women only, especially current mums with babies 0-12 months and expecting mums.

This session will explore the emotional and psychological transition into motherhood, focusing on the different stages of the first year and how stress and burnout can impact daily life. Mums will learn practical coping strategies, and ways to break unhelpful cycles, alongside guidance on accessing local and wider support services.

Babies are welcome to join this session with their mums.
