information SERVICE DETAILS

Encourages women to recognise they are a whole lot more than "only a mum” - and helps them to reconnect with themselves, to recognise their strengths and skills and take time out to do something for themselves on a regular basis.

This service is for Mums living in Edinburgh, who are isolated and already have child care in place. They will be supported and encouraged to explore opportunities and activities, initially with the worker, and as Mum feels confident and able to attend on her own the worker will withdraw. Each Mum will be allocated up to 3 hours per week for a maximum of 12 weeks.

Mums are encouraged to use their "me" time constructively - to help boost their mental or/and physical health i.e. join social or community groups, cooking groups, parenting groups; take up physical activity e.g. dance, yoga; attend classes where they will meet new people; go to counselling; take up a course of study, visit art galleries - do things and go places that recharge and reconnect them with who they were before becoming "mum"

Third sector referrals and self referrals accepted, please see https://www.firsthand-lothian.org.uk/parent-and-carer-support.
