Hartcliffe charity supporting mothers with their mental health turns 40
By Lowie Trevena, Thursday Mar 11, 2021
Started in 1981 by a group of mothers at Bristol Maternity Hospital, Mothers for Mothers has now supported more than 5,000 women.
The charity, which is celebrating 40 years in 2021, was founded on the idea that mothers know bets how to support other mothers.
Mothers for Mothers has expanded from a helpline and support call service to include peer support groups, art psychotherapy, counselling and a home visiting service for the women most in need. The organisation also campaigns, educates and advocates for better mental health support.
