Public benefits

Support 2gether aims to benefit mothers and families in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland experiencing ante and postnatal depression. Mothers and/or families will receive support through group and one to one talking therapy sessions, private counselling, mindfulness, coaching and alternative therapies such as reflexology. It is hoped

that the provision of these services will promote healing , rebuild confidence and ultimately provide sufferers and their families with the ‘tool kit’ they need to overcome the illness. Support 2gether further aims to benefit mothers and families experiencing the illness through the enhancement of education and knowledge of ante/postnatal depression by hosting awareness and information sessions, liaising with health care professionals and the provision of written literature such as leaflets in Bounty Packs. It is hoped that this will help sufferers, their families, health care professionals and other sectors to identify the signs and symptoms of the illness and obtain or sign post towards suitable support available. The public benefits will be demonstrated through regular feedback from those who engage with Support 2gether. It is not anticipated that any harm or private benefit flow from the purposes.
