NEWS

The Association for Post- Natal Illness (APNI) is very proud to be sponsoring the Award for Best Health Visitor at the CPHVA Conference this year. 

ABOUT PNI

Most people today have heard the term ‘baby blues’ used to describe a mild short period of depression which many women have after childbirth.

Fewer people are aware that as many as 10% of all recently delivered women develop postnatal depression. You are not alone in suffering.
