Embrace
What we do:
Embrace is our perinatal and infant emotional health support group for parents and children 0-3 years. Led by our specialist perinatal and infant mental health coordinators each session covers a range of important discussion topics such as emotions, relationships, attachment, and communication. The sessions include activities that strengthen the parent-child bond and build confidence together.
Embrace is an 8-week programme which takes place 4 times each year.
‘"This group really help me to understand more about myself and what I need to do to help me become a better person and a Mum to my children."’
Why?
One of the strongest predictors of wellbeing in early years is the mental health and wellbeing of the mother or caregiver. 87% of parents seeking our support are experiencing mental health problems.
The Embrace group offers a safe, non-judgmental space for parents to share experiences, reducing isolation and fostering support, understanding, and empathy.
Connecting with others facing similar challenges promotes emotional well-being through shared experiences and encouragement. 85% of parents who attend Embrace say that it has helped them to learn coping strategies to manage their
mental health and emotional wellbeing.
