๐Ÿ’™ Perinatal Mental Health Week โ€” 23โ€“29 November 2025 ๐Ÿ’™

Parenting โ€” whether youโ€™re pregnant, just had a baby, or a few months in โ€” can be beautiful, overwhelming, joyful and tough. For many expectant and new parents, this time can also bring unexpected mental health challenges.

๐Ÿ”น 1 in 5 new mums and 1 in 10 new dads will experience perinatal depression or anxiety. Thatโ€™s roughly 100,000 Australian parents each year. ๏ฟผ
๐Ÿ”น This weekโ€™s theme โ€” โ€œWhat you need, when you need it.โ€ โ€” reminds us that support can look different for everyone: a listening ear, practical help, professional care. ๏ฟผ

You are not alone. If you or someone you know is struggling: reach out. Talk. Ask for help. Check out resources & support-services at ๐Ÿ‘‰ pmhweek.org.au

Letโ€™s show compassion. Letโ€™s share hope. ๐Ÿ’›
