Story

This Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week, can you donate a "cup of kindness" to LATNEM to support the lifesaving work we do?

We're asking you to donate the cost of your regular coffee order to support our vital maternal mental health peer support service. The funding environment is increasingly challenge, so whether it's a £2.85 vanilla latte from Greggs or a £6.75 White Mocha from Starbucks - every penny counts when you donate your "cup of kindness".

In the UK, suicide accounts for 34% of maternal deaths between 6 weeks and 12 months after the end of pregnancy, and the rates of maternal mortality from suicide continues to increase.

At LATNEM, we support mums and birthing people with their mental health; ensuring they feel supported, cared for and less alone and that their children and families do not have to deal with the far-reaching impacts of maternal suicide.

We are a charity run entirely by mums with lived experience of maternal mental ill health; everything we do is to prevent maternal suicide.

LATNEM support mums and birthing people to improve and maintain their mental wellbeing in many different ways. Our peer support meetings give them the opportunity to feel supported, cared for and less alone. Registered LATNEM members may benefit from a resource library full of self help and reference books about mental health recommended by a psychologist, group psychology, group EFT sessions, Mindfulness evenings, signposting and referrals to third sector organisations, Beyond Birth Mental Wellbeing courses, subsidised access to private therapies, registered childcare to allow them to attend mental health appointments without their children, self care and crisis packs, creative journaling sessions and a lot more.
