Help raise awareness and funds to fight perinatal depression and anxiety (during pregnancy and after birth) during Postnatal Depression Awareness Week.
More than 1 in 7 new mums and 1 in 20 new dads are diagnosed with postnatal depression every year in Australia; over 100,000 in 2013. Many more experience it.
Perinatal depression affects the whole family and without treatment, it can change the lives of families forever. But it can be treated and people recover every day with the right support.
