Pregnancy in Mind (PiM) is a support programme for parents-to-be who are experiencing mild to moderate anxiety or depression during pregnancy. It is designed to help improve mental wellbeing and strengthen relationships before the baby arrives.
PiM typically meets once a week for eight weeks. Sessions are for either parent. You can come on your own or bring a support person.
Some PiM groups meet face to face while others meet online. You’ll explore:
- coping strategies
- how to understand your mental health
- mindfulness and ways to boost your mood
- relaxation
- connecting with your baby
Each week, there’s a 1-2-1 chat about your wellbeing. You’ll be able to highlight any concerns you have. Following each session you will receive resources you can use in your own time.
Once your baby has arrived, there’ll be an opportunity for you to meet with the practitioner who runs your group individually to chat and check in on your wellbeing. You can manage difficult feelings you’re experiencing with support from Pregnancy in Mind.
