Pandas Sefton

So what is PANDAS Sefton and who will I meet there?

Hello My Name is Dani, and I am the group facilitator for PANDAS Sefton.

I am a mum of three children and have lived experience of perinatal mental health.

I set up my first peer to peer support group for perinatal mental health 10 years ago here in Southport.

Since then I have been involved in many roles to improve maternity and mental health services across the whole of Cheshire & Merseyside.

We are aimed at pregnancy and new parents (babies and siblings welcome).

Our little group is a safe, open, non-judgemental space to have a conversation, feel less isolated and have a cuppa.

Join in with others in the main room or find yourself a little more comfortable in a smaller more intimate space.

We run every Tuesday Morning 09:30-11:30am - drop in any time life allows there is no late here.

Turn up with a messy bun and both in pjs, it’s ok with us, getting out the house can be tough, so we are here to support.

We hope to see you soon.

Just because you crave a life before parenting sometimes, doesn’t mean you regret having kids, it just means you miss that version of you sometimes & that’s ok.

Those early days, wow what a rollercoaster, the emotions, the overwhelm, the fear, the unknown & the tiredness.

After a while you don’t recognise yourself,
but that’s ok….

It gets easier, it’s constantly evolving, but it does get easier.

I promise you, time goes on & although you continue to wing it, you become more confident, less tired & find yourself more again.

One day you will look back and realise what you overcome and how amazing you are.

Keep going, you’ve got this.
