Maternal mental health support

We support women who are pregnant, or have had a baby within the last two years.

We’re here for people who are experiencing mental health difficulties and might also need support with practical or emotional issues.

We offer a range of personalised support, including one-to-one sessions with a Maternal Mental Health Link Worker. These sessions usually last between half an hour to an hour and can be online or over the phone.

Support can include:

• Practical ways to manage panic or worry.
• Support to connect with friends and family.
• Help with attending appointments.
• Mindfulness and relaxation techniques.

This service is for people who are registered with a GP in the Well Up North or Valens Primary Care Networks in Northumberland.

Referrals to us are made directly by GPs, social prescribers, mental health practitioners, community midwives, or health visitors.
