North Kent Mind were commissioned by Porchlight and Kent County Council to deliver a series of perinatal courses relating to wellbeing.
The course ran over 6 weeks and covered you and your baby’s wellbeing, understanding worries and anxiety, managing low mood as well as your support circle with signposting. Support was offered in two separate groups –
- Pregnant mothers and fathers-to-be.
- Post-natal parents/caregivers for babies aged 0-2.
Courses are for adults only, no children will be permitted to attend the session; this is so we can fully support your individual needs and you can focus wholly on your own wellbeing!
Whether you’re looking for support in-person, or remotely by video, there are options available!

Social Media Resilence Coaching Social Media Resilience Coaching is a service that aims to promote and encourage a dialogue about the impact of social media on the mental health of young people, via young people.
Utilising the experience of older students (16+), North Kent Mind will explore topics such as self-esteem, body image and anxiety in relation to social media; drawing on collective experience to develop guides and workshops that are then delivered to the younger students (11-14).
