Frome Birth Talk is a local charity close to my heart. They help new and expectant parents during such an important time in their lives. For me, they provided a safe space for me to meet other new parents when Charlie was just one month old and I had no clue what I was doing! That support was invaluable and just having the chance to vent made some tricky times so much easier.
They also provide completely free counselling for new parents. I know lots of Mums who have used the service who on the surface seemed to be coping fine. But postpartum anxiety/depression/trauma is so common and it is so important that free support is out there.
This is definitely going to be a challenge for me as I am definitely not in shape and will really have to improve my fitness before the event. It’s going to be a tough day but it will be worth it if I can raise some much needed funds for my friends at Frome Birth Talk.
