Talking to someone about your emotional wellbeing can help make sure you get the help and support you need. Mothers for Mothers are delighted to have been awarded the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service in our 40th year. This prestigious award is the highest recognition possible for VCSE groups in the UK.
It recognises the dedication, commitment and passion of all of the women with a lived experience of maternal mental illness, who have generously given their time, skills and compassion to support others. We are so proud that our wonderful team have been honoured in this way. It is very emotional to think about all the families that they have supported over 40 years.

Services
The story of Mothers for Mothers starts with brave forward thinking women who had survived a perinatal mental illness. In 1981 before peer support was recognised as a useful tool, these brave women decided what would have helped them recover would have been the opportunity to talk to others who had suffered and recovered.
At Mothers for Mothers we offer services to help you on your road to recovery. It can be a great comfort to have someone available to talk to, who understands what you are going through. If you are suffering from anxiety, depression, loneliness, fear or isolation during or after pregnancy, or if you are a partner, family member or friend we look forward to talking to you.
Mothers for Mothers are looking to recruit volunteers to help support our work with families. You would be welcomed into our experienced team of volunteers and be given full training. The role would be at least 4 hours of your time every week our volunteer roles are designed to fit around your available time.
Mothers for Mothers are proud to be supported by a wide range of funders. If it weren't for the generous donations that we receive, we wouldn't be able to continue our work in raising awareness, reducing stigma and supporting families across Bristol in their journey from illness to wellness. We recognise all the effort that our fundraisers make in supporting us and on behalf of staff, volunteers and trustees we say THANK YOU!
Taking care of yourself is one of the hardest jobs, it is much easier to take care of others, treat yourself as you would treat a good friend. Self-care and me-time mean different things for different people. It can be helpful to identify and do at least one thing a day that will make you feel a little better.
