Why Your Donation to Au Milieu Matters
Every once in a while, life presents us with opportunities that challenge our limits, push us beyond our comfort zones, and allow us to make a real difference. For Shernell Durrant, running the London Marathon 2024 is exactly that—a once-in-a-lifetime challenge she has courageously taken on, not just for herself, but for a cause that transforms lives.

5 Reasons Why Your Donation to Au Milieu Matters
Au Milieu (RCN1203902) is a small but impactful charity providing Infant Parent Psychotherapy (IPP) services to mothers experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, or difficulty bonding with their babies. This support is crucial in turning fragile early relationships into secure, thriving ones. Given the nationwide shortage of specialists in this field, Au Milieu also trains professionals to become Infant Parent Psychotherapists, ensuring that more families receive the care they need.
5 Reasons Why Your support Matters
- Helps At-Risk Parents and Babies:Many parents struggle with mental health issues and trauma, making bonding with their babies difficult. Your donation helps provide expert therapy and support.
- Addresses a Nationwide Shortage:There is a significant gap in trained Infant Parent Psychotherapists. By supporting Au Milieu, you are helping train professionals to fill this urgent need.
- Creates Long-Term Change:Early intervention in a child’s life can dramatically improve their future well-being, reducing the risk of mental health struggles and developmental challenges.
- Supports Free Therapy Sessions for Families in Need:Donations help provide free therapy sessions for vulnerable families who otherwise could not afford support.
- Empowers a Small, High-Impact Charity:Au Milieu may be a small organization, but its work has a life-changing impact. Your support ensures it can continue to expand and reach more families.
