A new report by Outside the Box Development Support gathers Scottish women's experiences of being a mother and the impact that it has had on them.

outside_the_box_coverOTBDS (Outside the Box Development Support) is a social enterprise which aims to be a source of independent community development support, information, training and advice to people who tend to be marginalised from their communities and who want to make a contribution.

They have produced the report Mums' mental health and wellbeing which hears from a variety of women about the effects on their mental health.

The experiences range from those given a diagnosis of postnatal depression to others who had found that life was stressful and sometimes quite difficult but did not think of themselves as having a mental health problem.

The report brings together information from the contributors such as What helps and what doesn't and Tips and hints for other mothers.
