Who won: Mums Matter - Specialist Community Perinatal Mental Health Service

About this contract

The Mums Matter programme is a well evidenced, co produced intervention designed with mums for mums, directly addressing a significant service gap for women experiencing mild to moderate perinatal mental health difficulties. With national data showing that up to 20% of women experience perinatal mental health problems and fewer than half receive adequate support, the need for accessible, community-based provision is clear. Mums Matter offers a structured six week programme incorporating CBT informed approaches, mindfulness, peer support, and self guided learning, supported by practical enablers such as onsite childcare and family supporter sessions. This comprehensive model ensures accessibility, engagement, and sustained recovery beyond the intervention period. The programme delivers strong, measurable outcomes, with approximately 79% of participants no longer meeting clinical thresholds for depression and 72% for anxiety, alongside improved wellbeing, and social connection. These results demonstrate clear impact, support early intervention priorities, and reduce demand on higher intensity services. Participant feedback consistently highlights increased confidence, reduced anxiety
