91热爆

As part of 91热爆 Radio 5 live's #mumtakeover - the UK's biggest conversation about motherhood and mental health - we spoke to Karen to find out about her work as a parent support worker.

Karen works for Netmums, offering guidance across their online forums to mums who are experiencing a range of issues, from postnatal depression to domestic abuse.

鈥淲e are there to listen to them, support them and help them overcome what鈥檚 specific in their thread.鈥�

She feels her personal experiences help her understand what support other mothers might need:

鈥淚鈥檝e suffered with postnatal depression myself鈥� I suffered with a miscarriage,鈥� said the mother of two.

鈥淚 needed to have some time and space to open up about what was going on with me.鈥�

鈥淪o whether you鈥檙e pregnant mum or a mum who has a two-year-old, you can come and talk to the community on the boards or to a parent support worker, like me.鈥�
