Emotional support for parents

Having a baby can affect your emotions, but help is available to support your emotional wellbeing.

Connect with other parents

If you are feeling isolated it can help to connect with other parents in a similar situation. Here are a few places to find connections:

  • Peanut: connect with women who are at a similar stage in life, from fertility, pregnancy and motherhood through to menopause
  • Bounty: pregnancy week-by-week, online support, parenting community and special offers
  • MumsMeetUp: connect with mums locally and across the UK
  • National Childbirth Trust (NCT): for antenatal courses and the chance to make local friendships that can last a lifetime
  • Action for Children: judgement-free advice and emotional support from parenting coaches
