South East London Mind Diversity Matters groups, provides a voice and support for mums from diverse communities, bringing women together to talk about the complexities related to their culture, upbringing and heritage whilst balancing the challenges that come with the first year of motherhood.

The group offers a non-judgmental space for women from diverse communities to talk freely about their experiences as new mums.
Diversity Matters is led by trained volunteers with their own personal experiences of managing the challenges of early motherhood from a culturally diverse perspective. As well as being a place to share similarities and celebrate differences, the five-week courses offer an opportunity to connect with other pregnant women and new mums and learn tips and techniques for looking after your wellbeing.
For this group, the focus is on fun, creative ways of expressing yourself and your feelings about parenthood. This group is a chance to try scrapbooking and journaling, drawing and scribbling and creating your own story about motherhood.
These groups are informal, relaxed and baby-friendly (up to 12 months of age). Topics for discussion include:
What it’s really like being a mum today,
The expectations and pressures,
Handling change and coping strategies.
Bookings are essential due to limited spaces (and so we know how many biscuits to bring). Come connect with other mums in a warm, welcoming space. Groups run for 5 weeks each with the same sign ups (if you can’t make Week 1 you can still join in Week 2)
