Telephone Helpline 0117 975 6006

At times one can feel quite desperate and hopeless and we have often found that it is a great comfort to have someone available to talk, who understands what you are going through and who may be able to help you untangle a muddle of thoughts and feelings. Please do allow yourself to phone us. Sharing can make such feelings and worries easier to bear.

We have a telephone in our office which is answered by a mother who is trained in listening skills.
Office hours:between 9.30 am to 12.30 pm Monday to Thursday.
Crisis Line:between 2.30 pm and 9.00pm Monday to Thursday our telephone line is diverted to a volunteer's home and she is available to talk to you during these hours.
At other times an answer machine service operates.

Open Houses

We occasionally organise a morning gathering in one of our member's houses. This is an opportunity to meet other members who have contacted us, for a chat in a supportive environment. Babies and young children are always welcome.

Supporters

We may be able to introduce a new mother to a supporter, preferably someone who has had similar experiences or who lives locally. A supporter will offer to contact you each week and so keep in touch with you. At any stage, if you are feeling that this relationship is not working for you, please do contact us at the office.

When their difficult times have passed, many mothers offer to support another mother who is troubled.
