Shedding some Light on the Project
A Letter of Light is a handwritten letter of peer support written by a mum with lived experience of a maternal mental health (MMH) illness and sent to a mum currently suffering.
- A compassionate letter a mum can read when in need of a little light
- A letter she can use to help start a conversation with loved ones about how she’s feeling
- A peer support letter a MMH professional can use to aide a patients recovery
Women with lived experience of a maternal mental health illness, understand how powerful words from someone who has recovered from a similar experience can be.
These words inspire hope, solidarity and belief that recovery is possible!
This is the mission of The Letters of Light project; To share words of support and empowerment from women with lived experience to women currently suffering. And show there is life after a maternal mental health illness.
