Mental health issues affect at least 1 in 10 women during pregnancy or clearly parenthood. Men can also suffer from some
level of anxiety, stress or depression relating to fatherhood. Getting help early can make all the difference to recovery.
Unfortunately, many parents suffer in silence and don’t get the support they need, often reaching crisis point. When a new
mum or dad suffers from any form of mental health problems, the effects can be devastating for the whole family.
Through #TheBigPush and other NCT challenge events in 2016, we’re fundraising for an exciting new project to support our
volunteers and practitioners to become real agents for change by promoting positive mental health, breaking down the
stigma around mental health, and supporting new parents to get the help they need. The project builds on our
#beyondbabyblues campaign, which is raising awareness of perinatal mental health issues at a national level and calling for
better support services across the UK.
Funds raised will be used to develop perinatal mental health awareness workshops and a range of practical resources to
be rolled out across the UK through our network of local branches. Our volunteers and practitioners will be trained so they
have the knowledge and confidence to recognise the signs and symptoms of different mental health issues, and to signpost
parents to specialist services. The workshops will support these aims and bring together NCT volunteers and practitioners
working in the local area to make a real difference to parents who might be struggling with their mental health.
The first stage of the work is planned for 2016, and will involve developing practical resources for branches, an online
training module for volunteers, and designing the face-to-face workshops. The second stage, aimed for 2017, will involve
rolling these workshops out across our branch network, which supports thousands of parents every week. The more
funding you can help us raise, the quicker we can progress to stage two - and get these workshops running far and wide!
We want to make sure no new parent suffers in silence with mental health difficulties. Your support and fundraising will
help us make that a reality.
Meeting in Enfield Town Park at 10am to warm up before running, walking, pushing our way to 5k from 10.30am. Stopping
afterwards to have a pinic/tea coffees!
