Support our wonderful team as they trek to the summit of Mount Snowdon to raise funds for Acacia!
Acacia Family Support offers help to mums and families who are suffering from pre and post-natal depression and anxiety. We believe that no mum/dad should suffer alone. We offer support through one-to-one befriending, group work sessions using CBT, telephone support and practical help in the home.
Here is what one of our mums said:
I owe Acacia my life, as without them I don't think I would have coped. I had weekly sessions where I could freely talk and have someone understand me. Having that freedom to share all of my worries and get things off my chest helped clear a tiny bit of space in my head. I was taught different techniques to try and calm myself. By sharing my feelings and thoughts, I suddenly wasn't alone. Acacia was the best thing that happened to me and I truly thank them from the bottom of my heart. They gave me my life back.
£10 pays for a mum or dad to receive vital initial telephone support, to know they are not alone and that Acacia will be supporting them
£25 pays for a family to receive some practical support at home for those struggling with day-to-day pressures and those most isolated
£50 pays for a mum or dad to receive one-to-one befriending sessions where they are able to offload, talk openly without judgement and share how they are feeling
£100 pays for a mum to attend a CBT group work course that allows them to meet others going through similar things, gain peer support and learn about how to make changes that will help their recovery to last
£250 pays for one mum's entire journey with Acacia, from making that sometimes very hard initial call for help right through until they are discharged having received one-to-one support, free creche provision, group work, practical support and small acts of kindness throughout their journey
