Perinatal Mental Health

Support for parents experiencing perinatal depression and anxiety

Did you know that as many as 1 in 5 mothers, and 1 in 10 fathers experience depression and anxiety after the birth of their child? 

Becoming a parent is life-changing — filled with joy, love, and at times, overwhelming challenges. Postnatal depression (PND) and anxiety can affect anyone, regardless of age, background, or previous experience.

You may be experiencing:

• Persistent sadness or low mood
• Excessive worry or panic
• Guilt or hopelessness
• Difficulty bonding with your baby
• Changes in appetite or sleep
• Feeling disconnected or numb
• Intrusive or frightening thoughts

These feelings are not a sign of weakness. They are more common than many realise — and help is available.

Whether you’re newly postpartum or months into parenthood, we’re here to support your mental health journey.
