Singing Mamas On Prescription

with Rachel Ramsay

What is Singing Mamas On Prescription?

Singing Mamas on Prescription ('SMOP') groups are designed for women who are pregnant or have a baby under 1 year, specifically to support their perinatal mental health. SMOP groups are fully funded, so that it is free for women (and their infants) to attend. Sometimes women are referred to these groups by a health practitioner (e.g. midwife, GP or social prescriber), but it is often possible to self-refer if you meet the criteria. 
 
Singing is proven to improve mood, reduce anxiety and increase parent-infant bond. You don't need any musical ability to join our groups and your baby will love the sound of your voice (even if you don't!).
