Supporting parents in pregnancy and early parenthood
Supporting parents in pregnancy and early parenthood
Free counselling services for pregnant people and new parents in Frome.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
We believe that people who are pregnant and new parents deserve support.
We recognise that having a baby brings lots of stresses and strains as well as joy and sometimes women just need space to talk things through. NHS England estimates that one in five women experiences anxiety and low mood during pregnancy and early parenthood, Funds for a free counselling service (often used by pregnant and postnatal women in the Frome area) were cut in 2016; a small dedicated team of women then came together to create a new bespoke counselling service specifically for women who are pregnant or in the first year of motherhood. By providing a free professional counselling service, we aim to help people overcome feelings of anxiety and depression before they escalate into serious mental illness and also to help women get off to a positive start with their baby, with lifelong positive effects for everyone concerned. Frome Birth Talk provides the only free, face-to-face counselling service specifically for pregnant and postnatal people in the Frome area. |
Postcode Local Trust is a grant-giving charity funded entirely by players of People’s Postcode Lottery. Our organisation received £9,000 from the Trust to help fund our free counselling services and drop in groups for parents.
