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 (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, art and writing.

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

You can attend for free. If you are able to pay our small fee however, it will keep our service going. To Pay It Forward for another mum, visit our website.
