Down Syndrome Development Trust
Down Syndrome Development Trust
Their free professional counselling service has been helping women in the Frome area since 2014. The team have since opened up their service to everyone, so anyone who is pregnant or has had or lost a baby in the last two years can self-refer for six sessions of counselling when they feel the need. They are usually seen within a few weeks. NHS England estimates that up to 20 per cent of women experience depression, anxiety and low mood during this life stage, so Frome Birth Talk aims to raise awareness of this common experience and help women to overcome it and enjoy motherhood to the full.
