Now halfway through our first term of Mums in Mind Online, we are so pleased to see that meeting as a group virtually seems to be having just as powerful an effect as our in person groups have over the last 3 years.
We’ve replaced the crafting part of our group with themed discussion topics as requested by the mums attending. Over the last three weeks alone we’ve covered postnatal body expectations, hormone science and letting go of the stigma around taking meds for mental health. This is all on top of our usual weekly catch ups, discussions and mindfulness relaxations. EVERYONE has contributed their life experiences to the discussions online and in WhatsApp, bringing warmth, empathy, laughter and inspiration to the group and all that in a lockdown!
When the WhatsApp group pings after group and you read “I feel super relaxed now, thank you Karen! I’ve put some Christmas jazz on and feel great! Hugs for everyone!” you know that spirit of Christmas will not be lost, even in a pandemic!
