Motherly Love
We believe that
No parent should experience a mental health crisis.
We Are Motherly Love is a Community Interest Company serving the mothers of Waltham Forest and Redbridge, London.
We offer free, safe, and non-judgmental groups where mothers can explore the emotions and feelings triggered by pregnancy, birth and beyond.
By fostering compassion and creating authentic connections, our hope is our mums will journey through parenthood feeling heard, validated, and supported.
Each group is facilitated by women who have experienced a perinatal mental health condition and have recovered, providing both a sense of hope for the mothers attending and a deep sense of empathy and understanding.
Our objectives are…
01:
To help mothers find a compassionate voice, an inner confidence and a sense of value and self-worth.
02:
To build a community where mothers can connect with each other and create their own ‘village’.
03:
To provide specialist support for mothers navigating challenging transitions in their parenting journey, such as the return to work.
04:
To work in collaboration with other mental health and wellbeing organisations, signposting mothers to wider support and resources.

Our postnatal group sessions are temporarily on pause, however please watch this space for more information.
At Motherly Love we believe there needs to be more conversation about mental health during pregnancy.
It is also our belief that current antenatal education is not fit for purpose and is letting down parents by not adequately preparing them for the emotional impact of parenthood.
If you are pregnant or have had a baby in the last five years, please complete our survey and tell us about your experience.
By adding your voice, we hope to be in a position where leaders and providers have to listen, and we can start to normalise both the joys and the challenges that come with being a parent.
