Mums' Wellbeing At Work

Outside the Box provides independent support to groups and people across Scotland who want to make a difference in their communities. We work with a broad range of projects offering support, information, training, evaluation and advice.

Mums' Wellbeing at Work is part of a project developing peer support for families. For lots of women returning to work is a positive step but for many the experience is challenging, particularly if they don't feel supported in the workplace. We want to hear from mums and families about the positive and negative impact returning to work can have on your mental health so that we can generate knowledge about what supports are out there and the ways they can help.
