New support service for mothers with children in care

What started with one group is now a Glasgow wide recovery network

Having a child removed by social services because of an addiction or mental health issue is a complex subject rarely discussed.

Mothers in Glasgow are now being offered intensive support to help them cope with this trauma as they try to stabilise their lives.

Women in recovery have been pivotal in shaping the unique project they have called “Martha’s Mammies”.

STV News has been finding out more about their efforts to improve services and to reduce stigma.
