Informal talks, Q&As and practical workshops for parents, in welcoming community spaces.
Becoming a parent can bring joy, change and challenges, yet opportunities to talk openly about how we are really feeling can be hard to find.
Through Becoming Mum, we bring accessible psychology into welcoming community spaces, helping parents feel more understood, connected and supported.
We can join coffee mornings, parent groups and community events to offer informal talks, Q&As and practical workshops. We also host our own events, creating time to pause, reflect and connect with others navigating similar experiences.
Topics can include understanding matrescence, parental guilt, the mental load, stress, self-compassion and finding space for yourself alongside caring for others. Each event is shaped around the interests and needs of the group, combining psychological understanding with practical ideas to take into everyday life.
Although Becoming Mum began with a focus on mothers, we are passionate about creating space for dads too. Fathers also navigate changes in identity, relationships and responsibilities, and deserve opportunities to reflect on their own wellbeing and experiences of parenthood.
I recently had the pleasure of running an event with Twickenham Dads Club. Building on this work and developing more opportunities to support dads is something I’m keen to invest in as Becoming Mum grows.
Whether you run a local parent group, dads’ club, playcafé or community organisation, or simply see a need for more support in your area, we would love to hear from you.
Together, we can explore an event that responds to what matters to the parents in your community.
“Your workshop resonated with me so much. It was incredibly informative and made me think about the small everyday changes I’m going to make. It was also lovely to chat to other women in my local community who I never would have the chance to meet - it made me feel like I wasn’t the only one.”
