MOTHERS UNCOVERED/LIVESTOCK

Creative peer support groups connecting mums to support them & their baby/child

What Mothers Uncovered/Livestock says

Mothers Uncovered is a place to explore feelings about motherhood openly and honestly, without judgement.

We support mothers in their matrescence (which means the process of becoming a mother). Our groups are led by mothers who are past participants, open to all stages of motherhood. We share experiences through facilitated discussion and art and writing.

A safe environment to explore matrescence and/or difficult or painful feelings.

- My Birth: a space to explore the story of your child's birth and help process birth trauma.
- Frazzled: online peer support group for parents who have a SEND (special education need/disability) child/ren.
