Perinatal Mental Health Week 12-18 November 2023 is per week that raises consciousness of perinatal mental health struggles.
The week goals to support and inform expectant and new parents who could experience symptoms of tension and depression.
During a time that often brings a sense of joy, love and bonding, some parents might feel an overwhelming amount of self-doubt that may convey with it apprehension, concern and shame.
It could occur to any of us!
If you or someone you realize is transitioning to parenthood and could also be feeling a sense of hysteria, depression or a lack of connection, please go to https://www.pmhweek.org.au/about-us for more info on perinatal mental health awareness.
Remember to always check-in together with your neighbours, pals and loves ones and support them mentally, physically and emotionally, where you possibly can.
