Mums Matter

Would you like to learn how to be a better parent?  Here are some ways you can!

Some you do at home online and others get you out and about, meeting people going through the same experience as you.  Some are even run by local parents.

About

Motherhood can be tough. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, tearful, or anxious, Mums Matter can help you take control of your health and wellbeing, so you can enjoy motherhood to the full. 

This is a free 8-week programme designed by mums for mums. It focuses on: 

  • Empowerment
  • Improving mental health
  • Wellbeing
  • Raising self-esteem

This is a judgement-free zone for mums to connect and share their experiences. It’s two hours of me-time every week, with a free crèche for children under 3. 

Dads, partners and other supporters can choose to have a 1-to-1 Zoom meeting with the team. They can find out how best to support both mum and themselves through life with a new child. 

Mums must live in Barking & Dagenham and have at least one child under 3.
