The Amma Mamas peer support group was set up during lockdown to help reduce isolation among the individuals supported by Amma.
Alvina says, “When the lockdown started, no one knew what to do—but Amma, very helpfully, supported all the mums. They sorted out phones and internet to make sure everyone was equipped so we could stay digitally connected.”
Erica describes it as a “great platform where mothers can interact with each other.”
The group continues to meet every Friday on Zoom. According to Alvina, it’s somewhere mums “can talk, share ideas and help each other through the lockdown period”.
