Mums Matter

New motherhood is often imagined to be a time of great joy, happiness and excitement. However the reality for many mums can be far from this, with low moods, anxiety and worrying thoughts and feelings.
Mums Matter supports mums to manage the everyday, nurture themselves and dispel the many myths of motherhood through their 6 week course and accompanying social group. The Mums Matter course can help:

-Lower unrealistic ‘perfect mum’ expectations.
-Develop strategies for well-being.
-Quiet the mind and reduce over thinking.
-Build connections with other mums.

The course is for all mums with babies and children under the age of 2 ½ years old. There is a creche available provided by Little Cwtch.

Mums Social Group
Brecon and District Mind runs a Mums’ Social Group on Wednesdays between 11.15 and 1.15 (term time only) in the Subud Hall in Brecon. It is open to all mums with children aged 0 to 3 in Brecon and the Surrounding areas. There is no need to book, you can just come along for a cuppa. Many of the mums who attend this group have either completed the 6-week Mums Matter Course, or are thinking of doing it, so it’s a great way to find out more about how Brecon and District Mind can support families in Brecon and the surrounding areas and meet people.

You can access the Mums Matter service by self referral, a referral from a medical professional or other agency/ organisation. Referrals can be made through our referral form, or by emailing/ speaking to a member of the Family Team. mumsmatter@breconmind.org.uk 01874 611529
