Also Motherhood
Pictures for the People produced a powerful campaign film for the Maternal Mental Health Alliance as part of the Also Motherhood initiative, creating space for honest conversations about the realities of becoming a parent. The video brings together personal testimonies from mothers reflecting on their expectations of motherhood and the often complex realities they experienced, including isolation, grief, exhaustion, and emotional overwhelm. Created for digital platforms, public awareness, and advocacy, the film highlights the importance of recognising maternal mental health as a vital part of family wellbeing.

Opening Honest Conversations About Maternal Mental Health
The film combines direct-to-camera interviews with deeply personal reflections to challenge the myth that motherhood is either entirely joyful or entirely difficult. Contributors share how their experiences included both love and fulfilment alongside moments of fear, loss, and mental health struggles. By presenting these stories openly and without judgement, the video encourages greater understanding, reduces stigma, and emphasises the need for supportive environments where mothers can speak honestly about their experiences. Designed for online audiences, campaign activity, and policy engagement, the content reinforces the Maternal Mental Health Alliance’s work to improve awareness, access to care, and support for mothers across the UK.
