Business Description

Acacia Family Support is a Birmingham based, Christian charity, helping local families affected by pre and postnatal depression – a condition which affects 1 in 5 mothers.

Without support, a mother's or father's mental health can deteriorate and lead to severe consequences such as, impacts on relationships, higher rates of divorce, ​and psychological impacts amongst children. Suicide is the leading cause of death in new mothers.

Our service provides telephone support, one-to-one befriending, groupwork therapy using CBT techniques, couples workshops and specialist services to young parents and dads.

“I owe Acacia my life, as without them I don’t think I would have coped. I had weekly sessions where I could freely talk and have someone understand me. By sharing my feelings and thoughts, I suddenly wasn’t alone. Acacia was the best thing that happened to me, and I truly thank them from the bottom of my heart. They gave me my life back.”
