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.
The Association for Post-Natal Illness is the leading organisation in its field. It is a Registered Charity (No. 280510) and it was established in 1979 to:
– Provide support to anyone suffering from or affected by post-natal Illness including partners, family/friends.
– Increase public awareness of the illness
– Encourage research into its cause/nature

If your company donates to charity, would you be able to put our association forward?
We exist solely on donations so any help or sponsorship would be hugely appreciated! Thank you.
We urgently need to recruit women who have suffered post-natal depression and who are now better, to support mothers who are currently ill by phone or by e-mail. Please click here to request information about becoming a volunteer.
