Resources
Social Media
Instagram, closed Facebook groups, and online forums can provide incredible connection and community when you find your tribe. However, it’s in the searching and scrolling that they can also become triggering and detrimental to your mental health.
Below is a list of accounts that provide supportive and validating content, ranging from professional therapists through to other bereaved parents using their voice to support others.
Navigating social media in the early days can be over stimulating and triggering, please put boundaries in place and unfollow or mute accounts that do not serve you at this time. You can also limit your exposure to baby related advertising on instagram by going into settings-ads-ad topics and selecting the ‘parenting’ tab.
Instagram Accounts
I have listed these accounts under a few sub headings based on their predominant content, however it's important to note that many fit within multiple categories.
