Emotional Support
Caring for a patient in this unfortunate and frightening situation can take an emotional toll. Mummy’s Star is ready to support you in navigating the unique professional and personal challenges.
Our Support Team at Mummy's Star come from a variety of backgrounds and have experience in supporting mums/birthing partners following their diagnosis. They are able to support you from both their academic and anecdotal knowledge base as well as a deep well of empathy and understanding.
If you feel you would benefit from knowledgeable peer support, we can connect you to a dedicated Information & Support worker (separate from that of your patient, if they are also being supported by us). They can offer regular check-ins either by text, email or phone, or even a one-off call to chat through a case.
“I feel like I have a friend who understands what I am going through, someone who can provide positivity and support. Just to know someone is checking in on me is a lovely feeling.” Mum, 2022
Training and education
We offer bespoke training and educations sessions about cancer and pregnancy for students and professionals. These sessions can take place in person or online, and the content can be tailored to suit your needs.
Created using academic and anecdotal evidence gathered by Mummy’s Star and its associates and partners over the last 10 years, we also include the newest, most relevant insights and statistics and tell you more about Mummy’s Star and the support we offer. Most importantly we bring you the voices and experiences of actual families who we have supported through various stages of pregnancy, illness, and recovery.
