Dancing the Parenting is a dance based weekly group for people who are pregnant or who have just given birth and that have struggled in that period. This evolved out of an earlier Arts and Minds Project funded by the Baring Foundation.

Familia have been running this for the past three years. We work collaboratively with Aneurin Bevan and Cardiff and Vale’s NHS Perinatal Mental Health Teams, as well as Gwent Parent Infant Mental Health Service. This is funded through the Arts and Wellbeing funding strand from Arts Council Wales. The groups are co-created with the women and children served by those teams.
