Struggling with a new baby or toddler? Pregnant and worried? At MumsAid we know that the early years of #parenthood can be the hardest. That is why we provide free specialist counselling in children’s centres across #Greenwich to help new mums with their mental health problems.
Tonight we will be holding our second twitter chat of the week! Join us from 5.30-6.30pm this evening when @psalkovskis will be taking over for an hour to answer your questions about OCD. Use #OCDwoa to follow the conversation!
Today at 4:30 @EverywomanPlay will be screening Stand Still, a powerful film about postnatal depression.
There will be a Q&A with producer Sarah Beardsall, Miriam Donaghy @mums_aid & mental health researcher & @parentsinmind Dr Claire Wilson
