# At-risk in-person postpartum mothers' groups saved

In-person postpartum support groups for mothers that were at risk of closure have been saved, according to BBC Health. The groups offer face-to-face peer support for new mothers who may face isolation or mental health difficulties. Keeping them open matters because in-person contact can improve maternal wellbeing and reduce isolation.

**Importance:** 3/5
