The\u00a0<\/span>\u201cYoung Mums Walk and Talk\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>sessions are a collaboration between\u00a0<\/span>Cumberland Council\u2019s Family Hubs<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>and the award-winning social enterprise\u00a0<\/span>Happy Mums<\/strong>, designed to offer a safe, welcoming space for young mums to connect, share, and feel supported.<\/p>\n The sessions will run on:<\/p>\n Held at the\u00a0<\/span>Cumberland Family Hub \u2013 Morton<\/strong>, these informal walk-and-talks are open to mums from their teens to early twenties\u2014particularly those who may have felt judged or isolated because of their age. No booking is required; participants are encouraged to simply turn up.<\/p>\n \u201cWe know that younger mums often face unique challenges and may not always feel comfortable accessing traditional support,\u201d said Fay Cardigan Perinatal Mental Health Coordinator<\/span> for Cumberland Family Hubs. \u201cThese sessions are about building trust, creating community, and making sure young mums know they\u2019re not alone.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The pilot aims to explore what additional support younger mums may need, with a focus on building relationships and listening to their lived experiences. While the sessions themselves are informal and supportive, feedback gathered afterwards will help shape future services.<\/p>\n\n
