Today, Mother’s Day has become more commercialised, but it remains an important opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate the care, guidance and support that mothers and maternal figures provide in the lives of children and families.

It is also a timely reminder for mothers to prioritise their own wellbeing and mental health. When parents and caregivers feel supported and emotionally well, they are often better able to respond to the needs of their children, maintain healthy relationships and engage positively in everyday family life.

If you are a Mum and struggling a little bit, it is advisable to seek help from a medical professional. Or, if you just want to talk to someone who understands, you can always call Beyond Blue on 1300 22 46 36.
