Description
Acorn is a multi-faceted, evidence-based intervention that provides an opportunity for mothers with mental health difficulties to come together once a week in groups and be supported in their relationship with their young child aged from zero to 3 years. Acorn is for both people in the relationship with an equal emphasis on mother and child and is all about supporting the mother and child relationship. Each session involves dance play and reflective journaling.
