Smile Group

We're a #perinatalmentalhealth #charity based in #Cheshireeast & a founding partner within @hmpartnership

[Smile Group @TheSMILEGroup]

Pls see below our Peer Support Groups in November.

While it was our intention to revert back to wkly support, due to imminent resourcing considerations as a small team, we're staying at fortnightly groups for the short-term.

Thank you for your patience & understanding.

Awe

Step back from
the chaos.
Let go of
the fear of
falling short.

One day
you will
look back at
this version
of yourself,
and be in
total
awe.
