This continuing project provides women who are, or who are at risk of, experiencing perinatal mental illnesses with emotional and practical help through one-to-one peer support throughout pregnancy and their first year as a mother. The project is delivered across three areas - Hackney, Swaffham in Norfolk and Mansfield. Volunteers will be recruited and trained to provide support for women referred. The project will aim to reduce mental distress and promote a better attachment between mother and baby.
