From pregnancy and beyond, no matter what the age of your child, you’re welcome to join us to share how you are truly feeling in a safe, judgement-free environment surrounded by others who ‘get it’.<\/p>\n
Nationally, 1 in 5 mums reach out to the NHS for support with their mental health during pregnancy and the 1st year of infancy, the figure in Cumbria is even higher, closer to 1 in 4 with 27% of Mums reaching out but the true amount of mums needing support with their mental health likely to be much higher. And the need for that support doesn’t simply end when your child reaches one or three, so neither do our groups.<\/p>\n
With in-person support groups across Cumberland and online groups open to any geography. Anyone who identifies as a mum, whatever their circumstances, is welcome with us.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Everyone at Happy Mums has their own experiences of maternal mental health problems, so you can be sure there will be no judgement and a warm welcome.<\/p>\n

Our support groups are created specifically to be a safe space for mums to share how they are really feeling and hear words of support from those who have been in similar situations. With group helpers and toys on hand to keep the little ones entertained.\u00a0<\/p>\n
