Our impact
Mothers Uncovered goes beyond the groups and workshops we run, positively impacting the lives of local mothers and families.
At least 20% of all new mothers are likely to suffer depression, and for between a third and a half of these it will be severe. Our mission is to help mothers feel less isolated and more able to cope with motherhood.
Maggie wrote about post natal depression and the inadequate services provided by the NHS in her Guardian article ‘Our health system is failing new mothers’ in 2014. We’re determined to close the gap and support as many women as possible.
