When my health visitor recommended [The Parent Rooms] I never thought it would help me. BUT...how wrong I was! You are amazing at helping me feel less anxious and for helping me to realise that what I feel is normal. I don't feel so lonely any more. Especially my peer supporter Rachel, you have been amazing at helping me.
It means so much to feel supported and cared about. The work you are doing is so appreciated and meaningful to myself and lots of others.
I just wanted to say thanks for everything you've done to help me so far. I've been just blown away by all the support, and honestly I don't know what I would have done without finding you. I'm so grateful.
It has made a huge difference to me, having the option to take part in something like this. It is so valuable to have these services available in such an isolated time.
I can't speak for everyone else but the opportunity to be a peer supporter has helped me in my own recovery by giving me a purpose and an identity other than "mum". This opportunity wouldn't exist if you hadn't created it.
The peer support training gave me the tools to recognise when I was slipping again and helped me pull myself back out of it nearly as quickly as I went down. I'm definitely not the same women I was a year ago. I'm even better now and you had a major role to play in that.
I am a whole different person than I would have been had I not done the peer support course. Thank you so much for EVERYTHING!
The services we provide are all about teaching coping skills, building confidence, and helping parents move into healthier and more fulfilled lives. You can help us to keep these services going by making a one-off or regular donation.
