A simple piece of ribbon could act as a lifeline for parents who are struggling and need someone to talk to
A mum has gone viral on social media after coming up with an inspiring way of letting other fellow parents know when you're in need of a listening ear. Although it's an incredibly rewarding experience, parenting isn't without its challenges and sometimes it feels like it can all get a bit too much.
The Mum Ribbon Movement was born after Anna shared a heartfelt post on Instagram and it's really easy for others to get involved. It involves tying a ribbon to your handbag or pushchair to signify to other mothers that you are happy to help if they are in need - whether that's a hug, to offer a spare nappy, or to chat with them.
The 37-year-old, from Godalming, Surrey, continued: "As a Psychotherapist working with mothers, It got me thinking, what stops us from asking, what stops us from offering? Maternal mental health issues are on the rise, and loneliness is a huge part of that. "I wished there was a way that I could say 'I'm up for you helping me, I won't be offended. And I'm up for helping you too, you can talk to me'. We look around and we see strangers, yet we are united in so many of these feelings."
