Our main aim as Juno is to help mums with perinatal mental health difficulties realise that they are not alone in how they feel and what they feel is indeed a very real illness. It is very common to think ‘why me?’ ‘why can everyone else cope?’ ‘will I ever feel normal again?’ ‘it’s not supposed to feel like this…is it?’

We support mums from the moment they find out they are pregnant until their child is two. They can come at any point in that period. Mums can be experiencing mental health illness in pregnancy or post birth and it might include depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, Psychosis.

Our groups are drop in - meaning no waiting lists/referrals and thereby immediately finding out where and how to access help. This is crucial in those new days as a mum when getting better quickly is of huge importance.

We are raising funds so we can keep continuing to provide this amazing support.

We are proud to announce that we have the following people entering the Edinburgh Marathon Festival on the 26th/27th May as follows...
