Help us to support the Gidget Foundation

Motherhood is an experience that’s often glamorized and sanitized. You don’t have to look hard to find magazine spreads of mamas with the perfect blowout and a caravan of happy kids in the background. And you don’t have to watch T.V. for long before being subjected to commercials of jolly babies in perfect white clothing free of spills or drool.
The reality of motherhood can often very different.

It’s very common to feel overwhelmed and stressed after your baby arrives.

It can be a good idea to have a conversation with a trusted person.  Sometimes mothers can find help in supportive friends, relatives or health professionals. Many parents experience psychological barriers to asking for mental health support or treatment during the perinatal period. They might not want to admit they are struggling because there is a stigma associated with admitting to having mental health concerns during this time.

We hope this project will give mums the opportunity to share their stories and to help other mums see it’s ok to talk about this.

We will be creating a digital exhibition including an image of mums with their kids, and their story of challenges around raising their kids.

It can be about your post natal story, or about the challenges you experienced when raising your kids. We want to help mums realize that we all face challenges, and the best way to deal with these is to talk to others about them.

Our Mummy and Me Project is the opportunity for you to capture special moments with your little ones. We want to capture the special relationship that you have.
