Kate Davarzadeh, Acacia Family Support

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.”
