Postnatal Depression Awareness Week 16 – 22 November

 

Up to one in 10 Australian women will experience depression during pregnancy.

 

This increases to one in seven in the year following birth. Anxiety is thought to be even more common. We can all play a vital role in supporting expecting and new parents.

 

Postnatal Depression Awareness Week is 16-22 November.
