I can’t thank Sally and the rest of the volunteers at Mothers Mind Staffordshire enough. They have helped my mental health massively after having my daughter. They are an amazing bunch of women and the most supportive mums! They have experienced exactly what you are going through. You can have open conversations about your mental health and struggles with no judgement.
Thank you

Mothers Mind is more than just a charity.
Before my husband stumbled across Mothers Mind and finally convinced me to go, I honestly felt so alone, I felt like the one thing that I was supposed to be good at and should be 'natural' at was the polar opposite.
From the moment I stepped through the door for the first time I was made to feel so welcome. They have laughed with me, hugged me when I've cried, held my daughter so I can eat one warm meal a week when needed, supported me and made me feel so empowered to take steps to getting back to feeling like me. They have been my cheerleaders when I felt completely helpless.
The incredible women that run and facilitate Mothers Mind are worth more than their weight in gold. They nurture every mum and child that come through the door and have not just built a community but a family too. No words will ever quantify my gratitude and sheer appreciation for the incredible work these women do.
Mothers Mind holistically nurture, support and empower women.
They truly are incredible!

Mothers Mind is a charity for women who are new mothers who are struggling. However Mothers Mind has saved me from drowning in my own thoughts.
​
It has allowed me to give my little boy the best start in life by supporting me through birth trauma. Supporting me by helping me get the support I need from the Parent and Baby unit.
​
The moment you walk through the door you are welcomed by the wonderful women who run it.
​
It is my saving grace, the place I feel at home, where even when I think my thoughts are stupid, I am guided back into the light.
